Standing at a height of 17.3 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. The image captures a skilled matchlockman mounted on a majestic camel, evoking a sense of adventure and exoticism. The soldier's attire reflects his Eastern origins, adorned with intricate details that highlight his cultural heritage. With bow in hand and musket slung across his back, he exudes strength and readiness for battle. The artist beautifully captures both the gracefulness of the rider and power of his loyal companion as they traverse unknown territories together.
