Soldier, miniature glass figure with spear
A small figure of a soldier in lampwork glass stands on a textured green-and-grey base, holding a long spear with a twisted shaft. He wears a dark cuirass, a skirt with white fringed tassels, and a helmet with a plume, and his face has red cheeks and a moustache. The white and dark glass is set against a plain grey background.
