Round Face. This is one of our unique and exclusive designs from our collection of hand crafted reproduction carvings which are taken directly from an original medieval Cathedral carving. We pride ourselves at Oakapple Designs as having permission to take moulds directly from the medieval carvings found upon the misericords and choir stalls from within the Cathedrals and Churches in the UK. Our moulds and production techniques capture and reproduce all the fine detail from the original carvings to produce a very high-quality piece with all the authenticity from the original carving. Taken from the medieval C.1340 carvings found upon the misericords and supports within the choir stalls of Lancaster Priory. These carvings are some of the oldest surviving church carving in England and when carved these carvings and the choir stalls are thought to have been the finest examples in the country. Unfortunately, these choir stalls were damaged and defaced by Oliver Cromwell during the English civil war and revolution of the mid-17th Century. These carvings belong to a small collection we have reproduced from Lancaster and all being depictions of faces, it is thought that some are Caricatures of the monks and carvers themselves. This fine example is of a man with virtually no character and resembling a ball with a cut for the mouth, done as caricature of a person within the Church or one of the carvers with those characteristics. Designed to be wall mounted, comes with a hanging fixture. Size (H) 4.5cm x (W) 4.5cm. This is great opportunity to purchase a true piece of England’s Rich Cultural History.Please note we hand make all our products, if we do not have these in stock we will make them for you and aim to dispatch within 3-4 working days however you must allow up to 10 days, please take this into consideration when leaving your feedback.
