A fine antique figurine depicting a King Arthur. King Arthur is wearing a knight's full suit of armor. He is hand carved from a fine grained hardwood that looks like Walnut. The carving has exceptional attention to detail from the chain mail to the expression on Arthur's face. The carving is marked on the front "Arthur" and on the underside "Fr. Unterberger, Innsbruck, Tirol". King Arthur measures 7" high and is 2 1/2" x 2" at the base. He is in very good overall condition. There is one tiny loss to the front of his chest near the "collar". The back of one leg has a line in the wood, I believe it is a shrink line not a repair, see photo's. King Arthur probably had a sword of some sort and I believe he had a visor, I don't have them. King Arthur would make a fine addition to a Mythological, Gothic, Medieval or Folk Art collection.
