Figure of Pantaloon, hard-paste porcelain. Pantaloon is represented as a tall lean long-nosed figure standing with his left foot advanced, his left hand tucked beneath the tail of his coat and his right hand raised to support his long beard. He is dressed in a long brownish-black coat edged with gold and lined with grey, worn over a red doublet edged with gold and red breeches held in at the waist by a white kerchief, into which is thrust a yellow "sword" with a gold-hilt. His stockings are red, gartered with gold, and his shoes lemon-yellow. His hat is brownish-black with red ear flops. The plain white base is decorated with three small applied sprays of leaves and flowers.
