RSF-30 - Pied Piper | John Jenkins Designs
This distinctive figure, titled "The Pied Piper of St. Francis", represents the religious missionary presence in New France during the colonial period of North America.
The figure belongs to the Woodland Indian collection associated with the Raid on St. Francis, 1759.
The manufacturer's historical notes explain that Catholic missionaries were sometimes known as Blackrobes among Indigenous peoples of North America, a reference to the distinctive clothing worn by members of religious orders.
The figure was inspired by the Canadian film "Black Robe", which explores the experiences of missionaries and Indigenous communities in New France.
During the 17th century, religious orders played an important role in French colonial activities in Canada.
The Society of Jesus, whose members were known as Jesuits, became involved in missionary work among Indigenous communities.
In 1625, Jesuit missionaries including Jean de Brébeuf, Ennemond Massé and Charles Lalemant arrived in Quebec to participate in these activities.
This individual figure provides an interesting addition to the Raid on St. Francis collection, representing the religious and cultural aspects of the historical setting.
A manufacturer's limited edition of 500, it is particularly suitable for collectors wishing to develop a broader historical village or settlement display.
Now available from The Military Workshop.
