The statuette has a rigid posture, with both hands holding a weapon crossed in front of him, probably a stylized submachine gun or assault rifle. The figurine is painted in green tones for the uniform, with dark boots and a matching base. The face, although partially worn away, shows some roughly painted features. The details of the military costume are still visible despite signs of rubbing and previous handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe soldier wears pants and a short-sleeved shirt, both painted in olive green, which evokes standard military equipment from the second half of the 20th century. The figurine stands on a flat, also painted, base that ensures its stability. The paint shows signs of use, particularly on the face, boots, and base, characteristic of old figurines that have been handled or displayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe general style, choice of colors, and posture strongly recall soldier figurines produced for children's play and decoration in the 1950s to 1970s. No markings are visible on the displayed side, but the craftsmanship and color palette are consistent with Starlux productions, known for their toy soldiers and military figurines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface has a matte appearance with worn areas, and the sculpture reveals simple but expressive volumes, typical of molded models from this period. The details of the weapon, boots, and base are still perceptible despite the paint wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis small retro statuette will be perfect for decorating a shelf or office, or as an element for a diorama or thematic composition around the vintage military universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
