A Meissen figure of a Turkish musician, c.1745, modelled by J.J. Kndler, wearing a turban, turquoise jacket, tasselled sash, pantaloons and yellow shoes, holding a string instrument and on a mound base applied with flowers and foliage, 17.1cm high Note: A similar model is illustrated by Len and Yvonne Adams, Meissen Portrait Figures, London, 1987, p. 171. His right hand has been re-stuck and his fingers are partially lacking (his thumb remains intact, with only a minute loss to the tip). The remaining faults are more minor: there are two chips to his right sleeve the larger (approximately 4 mm. x 8 mm) is to the reverse of the sleeve (so isn visible from the front). There is a small chip to the edge of the musical instrument at the back of the group (which is very minor) and there are some very small and minor chips to the flowers and foliage on the base. All of these small defects could easily be restored by a restorer.
