    Rastella Everything is figureoutable.

    He stands about 9" and is light at almost 10 oz. I think he is missing the end of one of his drumsticks. Does anyone have an idea of age and maker? Again, Thanks! 20180223_180253.jpg 20180223_180306.jpg 20180223_180316.jpg 20180223_180323.jpg 20180223_180330.jpg

    Appears to be a new decorative item from Asia.

    He is cute.
    Could be a Spanish souvenir. They usually 'antique' them, like this couple vaguely based on the Lewis chess set:

    Doesn't look Spanish to my eye.

    I can't really pinpoint him to any origin, but I was thinking of his uniform too. It reminded me of the Napoleonic uniforms in Goya's "Tres de Mayo" painting:

    Thank you! I was worried about them because I wasn't using my Nikon (which I'm comfortable with). I was using my husband's iPhone for awhile and couldn't get use to the focus for some reason. I'm back to my little Nikon now after FINALLY finding the battery charger, lol.
