- Materials and Techniques:
- Place of Origin:
- Period:
- Date of Manufacture:Ca 1865
- Condition:Wear consistent with age and use. This figurehead is approximately 150 years old. There is some evidence of old repairs including at the rear of the top of the head and near the base of the cornucopia. There is also paint losses on the skin, scratches on the base, and most unusually two 3" x 3/8" strips of clear tape on the left shoulder which has been there for many years, apparently serving no purpose. The surface paint has been refreshed, but has age. Some of these conditions add to the look of age, and others are so muted they are not readily apparent. For the most part, everything is in good condition.
