Reseña del libro "Figureheads: On the bow of the Ship (National Maritime Museum) (en Inglés)"
Figureheads developed from an ancient tradition of decorating vessels with painted eyes, carved figures and animal heads. Vikings in northern Europe adorned the bows of their ships with dragon heads, which were thought to help ships see their way through the sea. They are considered the only tangible evidence of the Great Age of Sail . But what other purposes did sailors believe figureheads served? What stories do these beautiful objects tell? And what do the different characters symbolise? This illustrated guide contains over 50 examples from the National Maritime Museum, home to the world s largest collection of figureheads. It looks at themes surrounding these unique carvings from mythology and gender to politics and literature.
