Ships Figurehead

19th Century English elm figurehead, carved from one block of elm. Though in thoroughly weathered condition it shows traces of early paintwork and does not diminish from the forceful expression and the determined look in the eye. With generous flowing locks, well proportioned features, this is a stunning piece of maritime art.
