Really wonderful finds, Amicalement. Contemporary local sources for the appearance of Mysore soldiers are rare. This is a treasure trove for any figure designer or gamer for 18 century India! |

I've seen some of these items, but not all of them as shown together here. There are contemporary accounts that mention the heraldic / decorative items carried by some of the model elephant crews. The commentary believes they are not chess pieces; however there are traditional Indian board-games that used elephants, camels, horsemen and infantry. I have no idea if such games survived into the dates of manufacture of these items or indeed if that's what these models are. David F Brown |
