Arthur:
Suitable for the 1770-1860 period from the Mahratta wars to the conquest of Gwalior and or course the Mutiny. Putty-pushing by Hicks Sahib as usual :

Why does the chap on the right in the uppermost photo (the one waving a giant rattle cum gourd) look like a chimpanzee? Is it a mask or is he meant to represent some sort of monkey god? Apart from that they look bloody nice.

Arthur:
There's nothing wrong with the sculpt : the figure is based on a real life character who was captured at Lucknow dressed up as the Hindu divinity Hanuman, as explained by Mike Snook in the Iron Duke FB page and the website's workbench section.

carlos marighela:
Cool, that explains it. It is a mask, I thought as much. I wasn't questioning Paul's sculpting skills, just curious to know what the figure represented.

Marine0846:
Lovely figures.
