A Carved Tudor Oak Figure

Having a flamboyant wide-brimmed hat, simple ruffed collar, tunic and exaggerated pantaloon trousers. The male figure, with his left hand to the front of the pantaloons, and his right hand upright holding a stylised flower head.

The panel is rebated along the inner edges, which would suggest it was the muntin for a piece of furniture – possibly a bed.

English, circa 1540.
