AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Iconic Soviet souvenir: 'The Motherland Calls' (Volgograd) - Personally customized as a unique pocket watch holder
This is a powerful and historically resonant souvenir figurine of the monument 'The Motherland Calls!' (Russian: Rodina Mat' Zovyot!), proudly standing on Mamayev Kurgan in Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad). The figure is an iconic symbol commemorating the heroic Battle of Stalingrad, a turning point in World War II.
The figurine itself is an authentic, vintage piece from the Soviet era, likely made from a sturdy metal alloy (such as brass or bronzed zinc) and mounted on a marble pedestal, with the Cyrillic inscription 'ВОЛГОГРАД' on the base.
The unique feature of this particular piece is its personal and artistic modification: the raised hand of the figure, which in the original design holds a sword, has been adapted to elegantly display a pocket watch, creating a fascinating fusion object between military-historical memorabilia and applied art.
Condition
Good vintage condition with a characteristic, well-worn patina that reflects age and history. Light signs of wear appropriate for the age of such a historical object. The pocket watch is NOT included.
A rare opportunity for collectors of military history, Soviet memorabilia, and unique, custom objects.
Carefully packed and shipped with track and trace.
