Originally designed as a companion to our Colonial Drummer Mouse, the 3.5-inch Colonial Drum Major Mouse elevates the tradition with a commanding presence and playful charm. Dressed in a meticulously painted crimson and blue officer’s uniform with ivory lapels and a tricorn hat, this mouse carries a staff—a symbol of leadership and rhythm on the march—proudly resting over his shoulder. During the American Revolution, drum majors directed military music, set parade tempo, and maintained order on the field. With an upturned gaze and confident stance, this figure captures that spirit of authority and ceremonial elegance, reinterpreted through the lens of folk art whimsy. Hand-painted in Massachusetts, this piece is a proud nod to 18th-century military heritage and a joyful addition to patriotic collections or holiday traditions grounded in American history.
