I'd like to know how his quiver is attached - he doesn't seem to have the standard belt with rear nubbin, as used on knight figures, so does his shoulderpiece have an attachment point?

Good question, Martin ...

I wonder if it's connected like the holster on the police figure?

All the best,
Richard

... Is the gold bow authentic, or just a bit of Playmobil fantasy? It doesn't seem very practical even if it's only gold leaf (which would surely rapidly wear off); more like something to put in a tomb as grave goods. ...

If my memory serves me rigth there is a Egyptian wall painting depicting a Pharao with a handbow. Allthough it is a short bow and not a long bow as this one.

wrong ... I found a different image in wich the Pharao is holding a large bow while standing on a chariot....

as to the question of truly Golden bows - I don't know ... I did find however that the ancient Egyptians knew how to make composite bows. So it wouldn't be unthinkable of creating one ...

LHAAP's link shows that it is, good call! That's actually a much more sensible place for a quiver to be, where you can easily reach for fresh arrows.

The only problem is that children tend to break these off, as some eBayed figures show. Not aproblem for careful adult owners though.

I see the figure's robes also project forward more than the regular skirted legs.

Thanks for the link, LHAAP ...

It was as I suspected ... similar to the police holster connection!

Thanks again and all the best,
Richard
