An Early Carved Polychrome Figure In Flowing Gown
European
Hammer beam
A well carved figure retaining much of it's original green paint having long wavy hair painted black; figure holds a shield with traces of red paint relief decorated with three carved antelope or ibexes. These magnificent horizontal beams, usually made of wood, extending from the top of a masonry wall outward towards the center of the enclosed space, but not completely traversing it.
The projecting end is usually connected to the roof with a diagonal brace. The protruding ends of hammer beams were often elaborately carved. The overall condition of this beautiful carving is excellent, with only the loss of some finger ends and typical age separations. (Approximately 60-inches in height.)
