Oak bast cloth?
I was aware that the Ainu made cloth from bark, not from bark per se as in Tapa cloth, but what they actually did was use the inner bark to make thread which they wove into clothing.
but on googling for more information on bark bast clothing, I found it was related to linen, ramie etc. But then I ran into an article nothing that a small cloth found in the ancient ruins of Gobliepi tepe was made from Oak bast/bark.

hummel figurines
the figurines were based on drawings by a German nun Maria Innocentia Hummel who was a teacher who drew and painted in her spare time;
Wikipedia points out:
The sisters were impressed with her art and sent copies to ...a publishing house in Stuttgart which specialized in religious art, to which Hummel reluctantly agreed. The company decided to release copies of the works in postcard form, which were popular in the early 20th century....
Soon afterward, Franz Goebel, the owner of a porcelain company, was looking for a new line of artwork, and happened to see some of these postcards in a shop in Munich.
One would think Hitler would have been pleased with her art, but he hated it:
Leading Nazis attacked the art, denouncing the depiction of German children as "hydrocephalic, clubfooted goblins". Although the Nazi authorities allowed Hummel to work, they banned the distribution of her art in Germany.
