@Böckchen,
 as far as I know, these are indeed Deneke figures. 
There is no particular notice, who lended the exhibits or even who did it originally.

A friendly figures on travel ....

Jörg, thanks for showing.
These are the famous 90mm metal figures of Frederick Deneke?

If so, here are some interesting pictures from the collection.

Goslar again

Last Saturday a few members of our local group visited the Goslar Zinnfiguren Museum.

Among a lot other interesting and funny stuff there is a special exhibition concerning elephants from A- Abul Abbas, (a white elephant Harun a- Rashid sent to Charlemagne) to Z -Zama battle.
Within this range is a display "Ramses meets Nubian ambassade", made with big figures - yes from metal sheets!
