Description: | A full-length polychrome female figurehead, including the feet, dressed in a ?shepherdess? or pastoral style in a blue tunic over a white undergarment, and a red skirt, both with gold edging. The left arm is crossed over the breast. The extended right arm is missing but was clearly detachable at sea, since the shoulder has the vertical 'female' groove into which it slotted. Unfortunately nothing else is known about it.
Finish: white oil paint and gilt. 'Valhalla' 1984 booklet no. 26 (col. photo) | Publisher: | "http://collections.rmg.co.uk/" | Subjects: | figureheads | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
