Description: King & Country Soldiers Ancient Egypt AE099 The Pharaoh's New Sedan Chair. A brand-new sculpt of a seated Pharaoh sits atop his Sedan Chair which is being carried by a team of 4 Nubian slaves. Nubians were highly-prized by their Egyptian masters and were noted for their strength and endurance. Thousands of them were in Royal service and although still slaves were provided with extra rations and fairly good, for the period, living conditions. Cleopatra's sedan chair, a luxurious mode of transport in ancient times, was an elegant and ornate chair designed for the comfort of royalty and noble figures. Sedan chairs, also known as lectica or gestatoria, were widely used in various cultures, including ancient Egypt. Historical records suggest that Cleopatra, the famed Queen of Egypt, utilized sedan chairs to move around the royal palaces and cities. These portable thrones were carried by servants or slaves, allowing Cleopatra to travel without the constraints of walking, especially in public or ceremonial settings. The design of Cleopatra's sedan chair likely reflected the opulence of her reign, adorned with intricate carvings, precious metals, and lavish fabrics. While specific details about Cleopatra's sedan chair are scarce, its existence symbolizes the wealth and grandeur of ancient Egyptian royalty. Although sedans chairs were prevalent in ancient times, they gradually fell out of use with the advent of more advanced modes of transportation. Nevertheless, the legacy of Cleopatra's sedan chair endures as a testament to the extravagant lifestyle of one of history's most legendary figures.

Moving even further west across the Atlantic we depict the brave but doomed battle to defend The Alamo and the epic Indian Wars of the late 19th Century. In more modern times King & Country helps tell the story of The First World War and the battles and campaigns in both the Middle East and the Western Front. Following the end of that War we also explore in miniature the people and personalities that led to the terrible rise of The Third Reich in our Berlin '38 series. That inevitably leads on to The Second World War itself...
