modeled as a mountain with European figures and an equestrian, two with guns and one behind the equestrian bearing a flag, approaching a bridge beyond a stepped hill with deer, a pavilion and birds

There is a missing piece in the group, which should be a dog on the bridge, as well as a chip to the side of the bridge. The figure standing with the flag has loss to one arm, and there are two missing branches. Overall there are minor chips to the extremities.
