Figure group

A Staffordshire figure group, inscribed in gold lettering on the base 'Death of Nelson'. The admiral, in uniform, pink breeches and a hat, is supported by two officers. One, seated in green trousers on the left, offers him a drink, the other standing on the right in white trousers and a tartan sash has a hand on his arm. The details of the uniform coats are picked out in gold. The back of the group is partly moulded as 'HMS Victory'.
