1/32 Greco-Persian Wars #9. Flag Officer of the Persian Heavy Infantry

Kit 32022 continues the series of kits dedicated to the Greco-Persian wars of the 5th century BC and represents a set of parts for assembling a figure of Persian Flag Officer from the Elite Persian Unit.
Flags played a huge role on the battlefields of antiquity. The flag was not only a sacred symbol, but also it served purely practical things: by the position of the flag, both soldiers and generals could get an idea of the course of the battle, showing clearly the place where this or that unit was located, and the loss of the flag meant defeat almost always. The soldiers who lost the flag were covered with eternal shame, and the soldiers who captured the flag received honors and awards, on the contrary. Therefore, the role of Flag Officer on the battlefield was very honorable, very important, but also very dangerous.
The figure of Flag Officer is made at a high artistic level and is rather miniature sculpture.
If desired, the modeller can make an expressive vignette using only this figure, or create a large-scaled fight scene by using all available figures of this series.
