    Take a close look at the robe of the queen alone - it's worth it ...!

    I think you could call it the pinnacle of Figure Modelling-I can't see how it could get any better. Obviously produced for a very wealthy collector or institution.

    I once researched who is actually there...:


    It is the coat of arms of the Counts of Bar-le-Duc ...:

    Anna Jarowlawna lived from 1030 - 1075, was the second wife of Henry I of France from 1051 to 1060 Queen of France.

    The Duc de Bar during her reign was Thierry de Mousson, who as Thierry III. Duc de Bar-le-Duc and Seigneur de Montbeliard lived from around 1045 to 1102 (probably February). He was a son of Count Louis de Mousson and Sophia de Bar, a daughter of Duke Friedrich II of Lorraine.

    Why the queen should knight him - that was he from his birth ...

    The scene is probably fictional.

    The coat of arms is composed of the fish of the dukes of Montbeliard ...

    ... and the Lorraine crosses of the de Mousson family ...

    It is still the coat of arms of the Meuse Départment..:
