This is the rather prosaically named Gallic Musician that first appeared in the Miniature Figurines 72/73 catalogue as PB 156.
Both PB ranges were based on Phil Barker's books Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars and The Armies and Enemies of Imperial Rome. This figure is taken from illustration 56 in the first edition of AEIR.
The code numbers for the AEIR range correspond to the illustrations in the book plus '100', i.e. illustration 1 is figure 101.
The base is stamped PB 156 on the upper surface in the usual manner.
The instrument is the famous Celtic Carnyx which sounds like this!
