Traffic Policeman

The officer is caught mid-signal: the right arm goes up with the white glove open, the left folds in at the chest. His black double-breasted tunic carries brass buttons and a badge, with a pale satchel slung on a shoulder strap. A white helmet banded in green sits high above the face, its round cockade painted at the front. The figure stands on a white oval plinth with a gilt line, set into a wooden base with a plaque.
