The Kneeling Kronach Statue, which stands approximately 90mm tall and sits on a base with a 50mm diameter. The statue is made of an unidentifiable stone substance and has gathered a light mossy covering in places, likely due to its storage in New Zealand's humid climate. The statue is depicted in a spread-knee kneeling stance and may have once held something in its hands, though this item has been lost or perhaps deliberately removed over time.
The Kronachs were known to be collectors, so it is likely that the object the statue held was a historical artefact of some kind. However, the exact nature of this item remains a mystery.
The Kneeling Kronach Statue provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of the ancient machine people, particularly the last surviving culture. It is a testament to the Kronachs' dedication to preserving the history and knowledge of their forebears, and a reminder of the incredible technological achievements and cultural diversity of the machine people.
The Kronach people are believed to be the last surviving culture of the ancient machine people. They were a nomadic group made up of survivors from all the previous machine people cultures, identifiable by their long cloaks and hoods. They were scholars and historians who collected information on the lost history of the ancient machine people.
The Kronachs are also credited with being the builders of the many great time capsules, including the one discovered by Captain Henry Flint and the crew of the Nine Lana. These time capsules have preserved an archive of tablets, relics, artefacts, statues, models, idols, and other objects that offer tantalizing clues to the ways of the ancient machine people throughout their rise and fall, through times of triumph and turbulence.

Many copies of this artefact were discovered by Joe Harlow who entrusted their safe keeping to selected friends and family.
The Kneeling Kronach Idol was discovered in 1909 by Captain Henry Flint and the crew of the Nine Lana, who found it among the many artefacts preserved in a time capsule created by the Kronach people. The Kronachs were the last surviving culture of the ancient machine people, and were known for their dedication to preserving the history and knowledge of their forebears.
The artefacts from the time capsule were hidden across New Zealand. They have recently been rediscovered after decades of secrecy in storage locations, as few believed the claims of the Nine Lana crew. The discovery of the time capsule and its contents provided a wealth of information about the ancient machine people, including their technological achievements and cultural diversity. The Kneeling Kronach Idol, made of an unidentifiable stone substance, is one of many artefacts that offer tantalizing clues to the ways of the ancient machine people throughout their rise and fall, through times of triumph and turbulence.
