Newest Peter Laing Recruits

There has been a lot of Peter Laing Persian figures on Ebay for  a few months  that was quite pricey.  However, with my renewed interest in ancients and medievals, and that the lot had 3 figures I don't have yet, I broke down and purchased them.
Persian horse Archer.


I have no idea what this figure is.


A Sassanid Persian Clibanarii?


This one I know; a cow (or is a bull?)

This trebuchet I actually got from Ian Dury, who gave me several siege engines. What's great about this  piece is it actually works! Put a piece of ammo in the arm and tap the counterweight and it throws the ammo! Get a couple of these and you could have an ancients Little War.

    Hi John. I have been intrigued by the unidentified mounted figure for some time. I think I have found out what it is. After a process of elimination and some research I have it down as M 415 Egyptian cavalry.The figure is using the donkey seat riding position which was common in Ancient Egypt. Coincidentally I have a very similar figure made by Minifigs.

    Regards Ian
