Summary

[edit]
Description

Replicas of grotesque console heads from 17th century warship Vasa on display at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm. The colors have been reconstructed through analysis of the original sculptures and by research on the art of the period.

The sculpture in the center of the photo is located where the lower stern gallery meets the starboard quarter gallery. It shows a figure with bare chest, writhing in agony as snakes slither in and out of the orifices on its head. It represents death and decay and is placed below the sculpture of the young Hercules (one of two Hercules images on the ship).
