POST MEDIEVAL SCULPTURE
1600
Stone head, probably post medieval, 17th century (possibly 19th century). Large human head, carved in the round from a single block of fine grained gritstone. Sub-spherical with high-relief pointed projecting nose, simple pointed oval eyes with no detail modelled, and small, narrow, straight slashed mouth. No modelling of ears, hair or neck. The underside is rough and uneven - this may be broken, or possibly never shaped. It measures 255mm from the nose to back of head, 210mm side to side, and 190mm top to bottom.
