Hard-paste porcelain, painted in enamels
Hard-paste porcelain, moulded, glazed, and painted in pale turquoise-green, yellow, pink, flesh-pink, mauve, red, brown, and a little black enamel. The underside has a glazed depression in the centre. The Turk stands on a shallow straight-sided rectangular base dappled here and there in pale brown. He steps forward on his right foot, and holds his right hand on his hip and has his left hand stretched out in front. He has greyish brown brows and moustache, and wears a tall yellow hat which conceals his hair. He is dressed in a pale mauve long-sleeved coat with a darker mauve lining, a brown sash with a black dagger hilt projecting above it, a long pale green coat with short sleeves, and a pink lining, baggy yellow trousers, and red shoes.
