This statuette of pipeclay is made in the late 15th century in Siegburg Germany by an unknown artist and represents a mounted soldier in costume of the period.
The material pipeclay is a fine white clay also used to make tobacco pipes and pottery.
Conveniently situated on a major trading route, Siegburg was a centre of ceramic production with well-organised workshops and kilns in which also pipe-clay figures were fired.
