Egyptian close fighters I

These are the early New Kingdom Egyptian regular close fighters of the native Egyptian 17th Dynasty and New Kingdom 18th Dynasty.

Such warriors fought under the Pharaohs: Khamose, Ahmose I and Thutmose III and who fought at the first ever recorded Battle of Megiddo against the Mitanni, Syrians and Canaanites.

These early close fighters are un-armoured and are equipped with a Spear, Axe and a Shield. It appears that no helmets were worn by the common regular foot soldiers at this time.

Pack contains 8 metal foot figures.
