Our moulds and production techniques capture and reproduce all the fine detail from the original carvings to produce a very high-quality piece with all the authenticity from the original carving. Taken from the medieval carvings C. 1450 found upon the Misericords within the choir stalls of Cartmel Priory. This carving known as Pelican in its Piety shows a large bird from the Pelicanidae family, this being certain birds with pouches under the beak. An explanation of this carving is that it is an early Christian symbol originating in the Middle East. It usually depicts a female Pelican on her nest, with wings half spread and chicks waiting at her feet with open beaks. She is plucking her breast and allowing the drops of blood to fall into the mouths of the chicks, thus symbolising Christ feeding his flock with his blood. This reproduction is taken directly from the original capturing all the fine detail applied by the craftsmen that carved this piece over 500 years ago. Comes with a wall fixing and product label. Size (H) 18cm x (W) 15cm. This is great opportunity to purchase a true piece of England’s Rich Cultural History.
