______________________________
Ships' figureheads often took the form of mythological ferocious beasts or sea nymphs, revered by the ship's crew as tokens of good luck and protection. The ongoing impactof Margaret Thatcher's time as PrimeMinister still means many things to many people. For some people she was a figurehead to be adored, for others, not so.
The whole work measures 90 cm high and approximately 40 at the widest point. The base measures 56cm long by 30 cm wide, and the whole weighs about 65kg. The piece shown is signed "Phil Alcock. Edition 1/9".
The bronze is extremely robust, can be displayed indoors or outdoors, and with minimal care will retain its quality for generations.
The Bronze Maggie Figurehead shown here is number one of a limited edition of 9 only.
Each edition is unique,hand-crafted, beautifully cast, with intricate detail, and of fine quality.
It is a 'lost wax' bronze sculpture cast in the traditional manner from an original work created in plaster by Phil Alcock. The lengthy casting process - mould-making, wax casting, bronze production, patination and waxing - is highly skilled and complex and was carried out by a leading specialist art foundry with many years' experience of working with several famous artists.
Please note: This is a hot cast bronze, not a bronze resin sculpture.
