Description

This figurine depicts a standing soldier, identifiable by his upright posture and detailed military attire. The figure wears a hand-painted uniform in shades of green and brown, clearly evoking military aesthetics. His head is adorned with a red beret, characteristic of certain units, and his face is painted in flesh tones. The figurine stands on a light-colored, also painted, circular base, ensuring good stability on a flat surface.

The paint shows visible nuances, particularly on the uniform, with touches of green and brown, as well as details such as the belt, pockets, and boots. The soldier's right arm is slightly bent, and his left hand rests along his body. No accessories or weapons are visible on this side. The overall statuette shows precise molding work, typical of Starlux productions, with well-defined facial features and clothing details.

The surface of the figurine shows some signs of wear, particularly small scratches on the paint, indicating a vintage item that has been used. A consistent patina is observed on the protruding parts, testifying to its age. The base, for its part, shows some marks but remains functional. No markings are visible on the displayed side, but the silhouette and style correspond to Starlux production, renowned for its collectible soldiers from the mid-20th century.

The item is photographed in natural light, which highlights the original colors and the relief of the molding. The background decor, composed of shelves of old books, emphasizes the retro character of the piece. This figurine stands out for its authentic appearance and handcrafted finish, ideal for a military or vintage-themed decoration.
