It is carved, deeply, (about 28 cm), of a sitting Napoleon, bicorne hat and rider boots, he looks away, backed by a house defended by the Imperial eagle, another house, shaped like an altar, presents the famous hat of the Emperor.

The melancholy of the character is well featured by this somewhat languid position. 92Cm,
an object of great collection.
