These figurines bear inscriptions that need to be identified.
They are meticulously crafted with a rich polychrome decoration enhanced with gold, typical of late 19th-century European decorative arts.
Napoleon is depicted in his famous gray coat and bicorn hat, while his companion appears in a blue uniform with gold epaulettes in a martial pose.
