Ambiorix

Unique collector's piece: Ambiorix figurine designed as a pocket watch holder.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional and historically resonant collectible: a detailed miniature figure of the legendary Gallic leader Ambiorix, the king of the Eburones, renowned for his resistance against Julius Caesar.
This specific piece is more than just a souvenir; it is a functionally and elegantly designed display piece that serves as a holder for a pocket watch (watch not included with this lot). It depicts the heroic figure of Ambiorix, modeled after the iconic monument on the Grote Markt in Tongeren, Belgium, created by Jules Bertin in 1866.
