King, 18th-century glass lampwork figurine
A small crowned figure stands on a gilded, rocky base, holding a curved blade in one raised hand. Its white glass body is trimmed with turquoise and gold details and a flowing ermine-like mantle, with a gilt crown on the head. The piece appears to be made from lampwork glass with a metal armature.
