He wears a dark green plaid kilt with a fur and animal head sporran on the front. His right hand is in position to draw his basket hilt sword from its scabbard. On his right side he wears a dirk knife. His tall tartan socks are held up with garters that are tied off with decorative bows. He wears black shoes with square buckles. He stands on a base that is decorated both sides with classic scroll carving. The paint is not original but was done some time ago using a very pleasant pallet of colors. Condition overall excellent. Circa 1860.
