Figurehead – 18th century
Figurehead of an unknown ship. Not for the prow, but placed somewhere on the ship as a ship’s decoration. It is a particularly decorative and richly decorated female statue with long locks and a medallion around her neck that unfortunately went up in flames along with her ship. What remains is an image with history that shows what fire can do on board.
