Description |
English: Carved stone head of probable medieval or post-medieval date (1300 - 1600) The stone head is carved from a block of light yellow - cream coloured carboniferous limestone with a significant amount of small angular grit inclusions. This type of limestone is local to the north of Shropshire. The block is sub-rectangular in plan with tapering vertical sides. It is also sub-rectangular in both profile and cross section. The carving measures 31.6cm in length, 15.8cm in width, and is 11.5cm thick. It weighs 6.2kg.It is likely that this stone carving is from a building and could have been either part of a corbel (a decorative projecting stone used to support the weight of a roof) or a decorative carving similar to a gargoyle. A medieval or post-medieval date has been suggested entirely on the style of carving and the design of the possible ruff and mitre. |
