Mr Nobody. (Blemmyae).

Taken from the medieval carvings (1490 - 1495) from within the choir stalls of Ripon Cathedral. This magnificent and outstanding reproduction carving belongs to a pair of the mythical creature known as a Blemmyae.  This example is rather unique in that unlike most Blemmyae being shown as a head less body with their faces on their chest, this one is a head only with legs, the only one that we have come across in English Cathedrals. These carvings are a great insight into the believes of the people of the medieval period along with their understanding of the outside world.

This piece like most at Ripon Cathedral is in perfect condition and this replica has captured all the detail of the craftsmen that carved this piece over 500 years ago.

Comes with wall fixing and product label.
