Conquistador Sculpture

I am sorry I am not sure what this is made of... possibly some type of clay? i only have this one picture of it, so not sure if it can be identified or not.

Without being able to see the front base, can’t know for. But some variation of this, maybe.
Unless that’s the one you’re showing.

 

Thank you. No, that is not my listing. But looks just like it. I am cleaning out the house now for remodel and can get more pictures as we move stuff out into a better lighted area. Right now the house is dark and very full. I have a lot of pictures of items, but this is just in a tight spot so I have not been able to photograph it better yet. I definitely will this coming weekend when we clear things out of the house.

 

Check yours for a name, might be located in the front on base, like the listing.

 

thank you! I had trouble getting that close to it, and did not realize that was possibly a name plate on the bottom of it. I should be back to her house in a couple days and will move stuff to be sure and get close enough to get a better look.

 

bring a white sheet...as a backdrop for further photo's

we live & die by clear crisp photo's here !!!!

 

Bring a dark sheet, too. Usually much better for photos of dark objects.

 

And some pillows, in case you want to stay the night.

 

@Paula Cochran , were you able to get more photos yet? I'm curious about this one...

 

Yes, I tried to drape the curtain behind it, so I just did a quick touch up on the BG to make it mostly white. Unfortunately I found a crack in the leg.. I would not even know how to sell something like this?

 

Just posted more photos

 

He's not a conquistador. He's identified as Bois Guilbert who was a character in Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe (and a Knights Templar.) On the internet, this figure is often just referred to as "a knight."

Thank you everyone.

 

Great, Debora -- thanks! I hadn't searched the name. Been using my phone today and got lazy, although still trying to keep some threads going by commenting on them.
