Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | During the Jacobean period, wooden "beasties" served as more than mere adornments in stately homes like Crewe Hall in Cheshire, England. These intricately carved creatures held symbolic significance, reflecting the owner's status, beliefs, and interests. Often depicting mythical beasts, heraldic animals, or creatures from folklore, they embodied power, lineage, and cultural identity. Beyond their decorative function, they served as emblems of prestige and authority, showcasing the wealth and taste of the household. These beasties also acted as conversation starters, sparking discussions about lineage, myth, and the natural world among guests, further enriching the social fabric of Jacobean society. |
