Virgin and Child in a Garden

Virgin and Child in a Garden
By an unknown German master
c. 1410
Oil on panel, 29 x 19 cm
Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid

The title of the painting is Virgin and Child in a Garden, but it looks more like Virgin and Child in a Wicker Basket Surrounded by Surrealist Objects to me.

What the heck is that platform thingy with the spikes in the upper right corner? And more importantly, who's the dude with the floating head in the tree?
