Pelican - Winchester Cathedral, Replica Church Woodcarving 12cm / 4.75 Inches High

Taken from the Medieval C.1300 carvings found upon the Misericords and supports within the choir stalls of Winchester Cathedral. These carvings are of significant importance as they are virtually the oldest surviving Misericord carvings in England and therefore give a true insight and glance of the cultural values and life of early 14 th Century England. However this portrait of the Pelican is a new addition to the Misericords and choir stalls being re-carved in the Victorian era to replace a badly damaged carving. This is still a beautiful carving depicting a pelican with wonderful detail and accuracy in a more modern style and stance. This reproduction is taken from the original carving and has captured all the fine detail that was applied by the master craftsmen that created this great work of wood sculpture.

 These reproductions are cast from a resin composite and then stained to give the product all the fine detail, feel and authenticity of the original carving.Supplied with a quality hanging fixture.

Approximate Size: Height 4.75 Inches / 12cm x Width 4.75 Inches / 12cm.
