Each soldier is equipped with a fur colpack featuring a red plume and green flamme. The group includes one trumpeter and three troopers armed with curved light cavalry sabres. The figures are mounted on horses of various colours, including chestnut, grey, and bay, and are set into a textured terrain base with simulated earth and vegetation effects. The entire assembly is fixed to a tiered rectangular wooden plinth finished in black. A small white sticker with the handwritten digits 9703 is present on the base. No maker marks are visible.
