Napoleon met his Waterloo

I have reported our Napoleon Christmas ornament before.

Today, when setting up the Christmas tree, he came to his end. Now to find a new one ...

    I hope that you can find a new one easily.

  2. Sad news :-(

    The Musee des Invalides has some Napoleonic x-mass ornaments, but not in glass and not as nice as yours.

    I might have to get the bicorne for myself though.

  3. You may be able to reuse the face and bust / structure in an Ozymandias style https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46565/ozymandias
