“Stars and Bars” by Francis Barnum is part of his well-known series of Civil War–themed pewter sculptures, which are popular among collectors of historical military art.
What “Stars and Bars” refers to

Cast in fine pewter, often hand-finished
Known for detailed uniforms, equipment, and historical accuracy
Part of a broader collectible line that includes other Civil War scenes and figures
Collector value
Francis Barnum pewter pieces like this:
Were often issued in limited runs or numbered editions
Appeal to Civil War collectors and historical art buyers
Value depends heavily on:

What “The Cavalier” statue is
A limited-edition pewter sculpture produced in the 1990s (commonly by Chilmark).
Depicts a mounted Civil War cavalry officer—well-groomed, bearded, and posed in a composed, almost aristocratic style.
The title “Cavalier” reflects the romanticized image of a gentleman soldier (historically, “cavalier” means a horseman or aristocratic fighter).
