Product Description

This is a cast replica produced from a mould taken directly from the original carving found within Beverley Minster, England.

These reproductions are cast from a resin composite and then stained to give the product all the fine detail, feel and authenticity of the original carving.

Dancing Jester.

Taken from the medieval carvings found on the misericords and supporters in the choir stalls of Beverley Minster. This unique set of carvings seemingly done by the same craftsmen during a short period, they seem to depict aspects and values of every day life. They show scenes with both a sense of humour and teachings of moral importance especially from the view of the Catholic Church. This wonderful carving is part of a pair of very similar designed motifs; this one shows a court jester playing both the drum with one hand and a flute with the other. One can also see that typically of this period the jester is wearing a pair of pig’s ears. Taken directly from the original carving this reproduction captures all the fine detail produced by the master craftsmen that carved the original. Designed to be wall mounted, comes with hanging hook and product label.
