Puckishness
I have been working through old photos and this one of the replica of Francis Drake's "The Golden Hind", came from a walk along the south side of the Thames a year or two ago. I remain utterly impressed by the effeminacy and sense of surprise of the carving at the front (ooppss, rear, or what's a hind for?) of Drake's ship, no doubt headed our for worse killing and plunder than that poor deer must have feared.
Is this a warrior head? English dry humour even in the 16th Centunry!
