The character wears a full, cylindrical helmet, of the great helm style, with a cross-shaped slit at the front, typical of medieval knight depictions. The figurine is painted in metallic gray and green tones, suggesting the presence of armor elements and additional leg and torso protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe knight holds a round, domed, bright red shield in his left hand, adorned with an embossed pattern that resembles a coat of arms or heraldic design. The right arm is stretched backwards, a position that evokes movement or preparation for attack, although the object held is not clearly visible from this side. A dark green sword is visible on the right side of the figurine, attached to the belt or held in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe statuette rests on a flat, dark green base, ensuring its stability. The molding details are sharp and clearly characterize the classic productions of the Starlux brand, known for its historical and soldier figurines. The overall finish is matte, with visible signs of wear on the protruding parts, indicating prior use or natural aging of the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe general style, colors, and type of armor place this piece in Starlux's vintage production, probably from the 1950s to the 1970s, a period during which the brand widely distributed this type of subject. No markings or inscriptions are visible on the front of the figurine, which is common for many models from this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
