Maharajah of Rawhajpoutalah - Musee Imaginaire 25 cm - Lot 254

Maharajah of Rawhajpoutalah - Musee Imaginaire 25 cm This 25 cm collector's figurine depicts the ruler of Rawhajpoutalah accompanied by his young son, key characters from the album Les Cigares du Pharaon. Published by Moulinsart as part of the prestigious Le Musee Imaginaire de Tintin collection, this resin statuette was inspired by the poster for the legendary 1979 exhibition. The sculpture captures with great finesse the shimmering traditional costumes, notably the ornate turban and pink silk outfit of the Maharajah, faithful to Herge's line. The object is presented in perfect condition, painted with care, and retains its original jewel box accompanied by its numbered certificate of authenticity. A choice piece that evokes the exoticism of the famous reporter's oriental adventures and his fight against the opium trade.
