This is a small glazed figure made specifically for visitors to handle, which relates to the recent acquisition 'Paradise Lost' by Steve Dixon. The figure is Tony Blair as a latter-day crusader, sat yoga-style with the bible in his lap. It picks up on the Iraq war themes seen in the 'Paradise Lost' piece, showing him holding a gun and wearing the teacup helmet in reference to the anti-war campaign posters which read 'Make Tea not War'.
