Figurehead 1935 - 1942

This anonymous carving, titled "Figurehead," is a mid-20th century piece of wooden sculpture, most likely created to be a figurehead for a ship. The figurehead, in the form of a woman, is depicted with her hand over her heart, and her eyes are looking upwards. The carving, which measures 56 cm by 39 cm, is likely from the 1930s or 1940s, though little is known about its exact origins.
