Figurehead

     From the sacred to the profane. It seems unlikely that this female figure could have been intended as the Virgin Mary. The spoon is by Richard Chandler of Plymouth, circa 1639 (date pricked with owner's initials on back of bowl), 7.6 inches. These finials are a regional speciality. Coming from a harbour town they may have been inspired by the figureheads of ships.
