NKE-06B – Egyptian Standard Bearer | John Jenkins Designs
Across the dust and confusion of an ancient battlefield, standards provided soldiers with visible points around which units and formations could identify themselves.
NKE-06B – Egyptian Standard Bearer represents one of these important figures within the army of New Kingdom Egypt.
Egyptian military standards could incorporate distinctive symbols associated with gods, royal authority or particular military formations. Their presence also adds considerable visual interest to a miniature army dominated by weapons and shields.
At Kadesh, Ramesses II's army was organised into major divisions bearing the names of Egyptian gods, including Amun, Ra, Ptah and Seth. The battle became chaotic when those formations were separated and the Hittite attack struck unexpectedly.
NKE-06B makes a natural rallying point among the infantry and is particularly effective positioned near officers or the pharaoh's command group.
Available from The Military Workshop – a colourful and historically important John Jenkins Designs figure for the Egyptian army at Kadesh.
