13685 Reproduction Figurehead, "Maid of Salem"

A very fine replica of the ca 1800 figurehead, "Maid of Salem". The original of this figurehead which was carved by Samuel McIntire, ca 1800, is in the collection of the Peabody Museum in Salem. It is only 26 inches tall - a little less than one half the size of this fine reproduction which was carved by Ramon Parga in 1967, and is 57 inches tall. The portrait in the medallion is thought to be of Thomas Jefferson.
