Made of lead, according to the keywords provided, it features a hand-painted finish, with a high level of detail on the military uniform and visible equipment. The cavalryman wears a green jacket with white lapels, light trousers, and black boots, topped with a black and gold crested helmet. The saddle and horse blanket are highlighted with yellow and red borders, typical of the light cavalry uniform of the First Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe figurine rests on a rectangular base, also painted, which ensures its stability. The horse is depicted in a dynamic posture, galloping with its head stretched forward and tail raised, giving an impression of realistic movement. The details of the harness, reins, and saddle are clearly visible, as is the martial posture of the cavalryman, true to Napoleonic iconography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface of the figurine has a matte patina, with some visible signs of wear on the horse's leg and the cavalryman's arm, indicating previous use or storage. The overall colors remain vibrant: deep green, carmine red, golden yellow, and chocolate brown for the horse. The cavalryman's face is precisely painted, although the features remain schematic, in keeping with the tradition of antique military figurines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire piece is photographed on a piece of furniture with gold decor, but only the figurine itself is offered here.
