Description: | Lead AlloyToy soldier fragment. Solid-cast semi-flat model of a cavalryman, probably a hussar, mounted on a cantering horse with sword in his right hand and reins in the left. The uniform is represented by a tunic braided across the front and possibly with an off-the-shoulder pelisse; a scabbard hangs at the left side. The soldier's head is lost. The horse furniture includes a pointed saddlecloth and blanket roll; the lower legs of the horse and its base and head and tail are lost. The figure would probably be made at circa 1:40 or 35mm scale (the latter being the notional height of a standing figure). The manufacture of flat and semi-flat figures was a German speciality in the years before the First World War; a contemporary dress uniform is probably represented. Such imported toys became scarce and unpopular with the outbreak of war in 1914. Suggested date: Modern, 1890-1914.Height: 33.8mm, Length: 29.5mm, Thickness: 5.7mm, Weight: 12.49gms. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
