Jesus Caricature (Lancaster Priory).

This is one of our unique and exclusive designs from our collection of hand crafted reproduction carvings which are taken directly from an original medieval Cathedral carving. We pride ourselves at Oakapple Designs as having permission to take moulds directly from the medieval carvings found upon the misericords and choir stalls from within the Cathedrals and Churches in the UK. Our moulds and production techniques capture and reproduce all the fine detail from the original carvings to produce a very high-quality piece with all the authenticity from the original carving.

Taken from the medieval C.1340 carvings found upon the misericords and supports within the choir stalls of Lancaster Priory. These carvings are some of the oldest surviving church carving in England and when carved these carvings and the choir stalls are thought to have been the finest examples in the country. Unfortunately, these choir stalls were damaged and defaced by Oliver Cromwell during the English civil war and revolution of the mid-17th Century. These carvings belong to a small collection we have reproduced from Lancaster and all being depictions of faces, it is thought that some are Caricatures of the monks and carvers themselves. This fine example is of a medieval man, the carving is called Jesus but is most not Jesus. This is simply a portrait of a person and could be a caricature of a person with those characteristics.

Designed to be wall mounted, comes with a hanging fixture.

Size (H) 7cm x (W) 5cm
