Horse & Rider Figurine

This is a figure of a horse and rider made by Nymphenburg in the mid 20th century - 1955 to be exact. This is a model from the hunting series originally designed by Frankenthal in the 18th century. The hunter here is nicely dressed in a typical outfit - the yellow version but it also exists in green and red. He is sitting on his white horse. Lots of superb detail including the reigns, whip, stirrups and his hunting knife. The horse is modeled with a tree stump under it to support the figure during the firing process and a typical base with gilded scrolls all around. A really nice figurine and a superb example! The figurine is 7 inches tall, 2.75 inches wide and 5.25 inches long. Marked with the impressed shield mark underneath as well as the impressed numbers 1063 over 2 and the blue monogram CT for it being a Frankenthal model originally with the year mark 1955 under that. What makes it special is that it is in perfect condition which is unusual given all the fragile details! A really nice piece! Please email me for more information or other pictures.
