I acquired this figure many years ago in an auction, I recall a similar figure appeared on the cover of a model soldier type magazine in the 1980's or 90's, but I no longer have a copy of the magazine
I would be interested to find out who made it.

This mounted Mongol was also purchased at the same auction from the same source.
