(Actual photo of our sculpted Atila
doll coming soon...)
|
Atila is a hand-sculpted miniature dollhouse doll.
He has movable and flexible arms and legs. He doesn't require the use of a doll stand and may be posed into various battle positions.
Atila holds in one hand his ivory tusk sword (also made of clay). The sword is not intended to be removed. He wears a sword holster and leather strapping around his upper body. His boots are hand-sculpted of brown sienna and ivory colored clay and black polymer was used for his boot laces. His hair and eyebrows appear realistic in tiny strands of fine woolen fiber. His warrior loin cloth is made of extra fine vintage leather. He measures approximately 6" tall.
No molds were used in the creation of this doll. Atila is a one-of-a-kind.
Atila $85.00
Who is Atila?
Attila the Hun (406–453) was the final and most powerful king of the Huns, one of the most notable Turkish tribes in the history. He reigned over what was then Europe's largest empire, from 434 until his death. His empire stretched from Central Europe to the Black Sea and from the Danube River to the Baltic. During his rule he was among the direst enemies of the Eastern and Western Roman Empires: he invaded the Balkans twice and encircled Constantinople in the second invasion. He marched through Gaul (later France) as far as Orleans before being turned back at Battle of Chalons; and he drove the western emperor Valentinian III from his capital at Ravenna in 452.
Though his empire died with him and he left no amazing legend, he has become a legendary figure in the history of Europe. In much of Western Europe, he is remembered as the epitome of cruelty and rapacity. In contrast, some histories lionize him as a great and noble king, and he plays major roles in three Norse sagas.
