It would be interesting to test the resources of the Henry Moor Institute on this one, including the use of Bolton Wood stone. You could mention that Dr. Dean Willie recommended you. If you remember that's the name I faked to get into one of their lectures when lowly Roger Burnett's application was turned down. <br /><br />I am surprised that it is an original as most monuments of that type and period were bought off the peg. As a carved stone original from an unknown sculptor it is impressive. And considering the risk of breakage with the extended arm, quite daring.

I wonder if you'll share with us "the exact facsimile of a medallion representing an emblem of music copied from the monument of Jenny Lind." And perhaps you'll muse about why it was attached to this man's monument...Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.com
