Palmyran Archer

This is the Palmyran Archer that first appeared in the Miniature Figurines 72/73 catalogue as PB 202.

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 102 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 numbered PB 202 on the upper surface in the usual manner.

A slight deviation from the usual Minifigs archer pose. The bow and arrow have a distintly half-finished look about them as if the designer had the wire armature in place and just forgot to go back and give the bow its shape or the arrow its point and fletchings. Of course, that could never happen ;)
