Polena Da Nave in Legno Di Castagno Raffigurante Capitan Uncino Italia XIX Sec

Located in Milan, IT

Polena in legno di castagno scolpito del XIX secolo, raffigurante Giacomo Uncino meglio conosciuto come Capitan Uncino, famoso pirata e il principale antagonista di Peter Pan. Uncino è il capitano immaginario di una nave di pirati crudeli. Viene chimato così perché al posto della mano destra ha un uncino di ferro, la mano gli fu mozzata da Peter Pan durante un combattimento e poi data in pasto ad un coccodrillo, il quale gradì così tanto la mano che spera di mangiarsi anche il pirata al quale continua a dare la caccia. L’opera, in legno di castagno scolpito è stata realizzata da un bravo scultore ligure, Italia del Nord, alla fine del XIX secolo, di ottima fattura ritrare il mezzo busto di un uomo barbuto, l’occhio destro bendato e l’uncino al posto della mano destra, mentre la mano sinistra impugna una grande spada e una bandana come copriacapo. Il castagno è un legno pregiato e molto resistente alle intemperie e al vento. La spada spezzata è stata restaurata in epoca precedente, per il resto lo stato di conservazione è molto buono. Una polena è una decorazione lignea, che si trovava sulla prua delle navi dal XVI al XIX secolo. La pratica fu introdotta inizialmente nei galeoni, ma anche navi più antiche avevano spesso alcune decorazioni nella prua. Come molte delle decorazioni del Tempo le polene...
