Martina is right. The man is from saxony arround 1730. I have this in my collection: engraver Werner Otto, editor Wolfgang Unger (WU). It is in 30mm - but I think this man is availible larger (54mm). Editor Werner Otto?

I do not know the Producer. But I think it is a local Saxon one. May be a former Schulz figure. You can try to contact the Zinnfigurenfreunde Leipzig. Maybe they kann help you.

Hello Richard,

sorry, I don´t know where you can get this figure.

The instrument is a Bagpipe in german called "Bock". It was played mainly in eastern parts of Europe until the 19th century.

Carl Zinnfiguren has two figures playing such a bagpipe, Figure No. 812 and No. 815 in his catalog on page 106 in the PDF, see here:
