The item features a polychrome finish with a camouflage pattern in shades of green, red, ocher, and brown, typical of military figurines produced in the mid-20th century. The soldier's head is topped with a bright red headdress, contrasting with the character's camouflaged uniform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe soldier stands on a flat rectangular base, also painted in a nuanced green hue. The details of the sculpture are understated but sufficiently marked to distinguish the volumes of the loose trousers, belt, and boots. The arms are bent to hold what appears to be a rifle, painted dark brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface of the figurine shows visible patination, with some traces of wear on the edges and protruding parts, attesting to its age and prior use. No markings or inscriptions are visible on the presented side. The overall aesthetic evokes the characteristic style of Starlux figurines, renowned for their realistic rendering and hand-painted colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe soldier's face is stylized, without fine details, which is consistent with the manufacturing methods of old military figurines. The colors, though patinated, remain legible and give the object an authentic retro appearance. The figurine is molded in a single piece, with no apparent articulation or detachable elements on the visible side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of statuette was typically used for children's games or as a decorative object, and falls within the tradition of Starlux military figurines, which were very present on the French market from the 1950s-1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
