China’s military past provides a rich variety of infantry, horsemen, commanders and martial traditions. Military discipline and the legends surrounding great leaders both offer scope for historical scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChinese Banner Type 1 contributes a distinct named character, object or action to the range. Its individual role becomes most meaningful when the neighbouring pieces help explain what is happening in the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColours, standards and banners helped distinguish groups and express loyalty and identity. They also provide a strong visual landmark in an otherwise busy formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a display based on a Chinese fortress, training ground or battlefield, position the subject where its role is evident at first glance. Even modest scenery can add depth and atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse this subject to anchor nearby troops or dignitaries, while allowing the standard itself to remain visible. That arrangement gives the scene a clear centre of attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo expand the scene, look towards Chinese guards, mounted soldiers, standards and fortifications. Together, compatible subjects can add a sense of movement, scale and period detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece also invites an appreciation of the meeting of military history and legendary personalities. It is a useful reminder that a historical scene can be told through an individual detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a little consideration for placement and supporting pieces, the subject can become a strong focal point within the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow available from The Military Workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King \u0026 Country","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419486150938,"sku":"IC047","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/0154\/0890\/files\/IC047.jpg?v=1794304344","url":"https:\/\/themilitaryworkshop.com\/products\/ic047","provider":"The Military Workshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
