This superb miniature walnut carving is modeled on the famous Swiss monument which is carved in sandstone in a rockface above a pool, in the medieval town of Lucerne, Switzerland. It is a monument to all the Swiss mercenary soldiers who lost their lives while serving the French king Loius XVI during the French Revolution.
