Macbeth

The ambitious Thane of Glamis who murders his kinsman and claims the throne of Scotland for himself, is the title figure of one of Shakespeare's best known plays.

Media: Head, arms and legs of Super Sculpey, on a wire armature with a cloth body. "Salt and pepper" hair made using brown and gray mohair. His legs are wrapped with rags, and leather bindings from his soft brown leather shoes. Wearing a ragged pleated kilt of blue and red plaid as close as possible to the actual Macbeth tartan. He wears a dark blue tunic with leather and studs along the sleeve edges. Over the tunic, he wears leather armour made of many small squares of brown leather sewn onto a larger leather tunic. He has a wide leather belt with beaded rivets and golden studs, and a golden medallion with a blue stone. He has studded leather wrist guards, and wears a tattered cloak of blue and red plaid tartan, the right end of which is tucked into his belt.

Props: He holds a handmade metal sword, made by Vaughan Tyrer.

Height: 46 cm (18")
