100mm, plaster-filled, blow-moulded,
celluloid lump of Crimean warrior (the French were actually on our side in that
one, probably why it went so badly! No offence Berthoux!), or colonial era
'type'.
I guess these were sold as cheap ornaments
to poorer - yet house-proud - citizens wanting a [patriotic] bit of 'Meissen'
or 'Spode' for the mantle-piece/shelf, or perhaps as 'ersatz' polymer fair-ground
prizes (fairings)?
