| Place of origin |
Porcelain figure of a European holding a sword. The figure was apparently pressed in a two-part mould, the head and hat applied separately. The porcelain is white, with a typically cream-white glaze. The figure stands clasping the hilt of the sword (the remainder of which is missing), and wearing a rather long coat with ruffled collar, tied at the waist by a sash, over trousers and boots; on his head is a cocked hat.
