This, on the bow mounted, carved figure is the figurehead of the Russian frigate (replica) Shtandart, while moored in Flushing, Zeeland, The Netherlands.
A figurehead was meant to act as lookouts and to lead the sailors safely on their way. In the days when the original Shtandart was built, one thought that a frightening figurehead should eliminate the in the sea living demons.
Now it's my entry for Manic Monday, lol.

That is a galleon figure enough to scare pirates away with teeth that only a hippo has! Good one for this Monday Cornelius.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Mr. Sea - When I see the maze of lines and pulleys on an old ship, and think that each has a specific name to better ensure accurate maneuvers of the ship at sea, I wonder if I'd ever be able to remember then all. But, with this frightening face at the fore, to stare down every wave, I might feel safer. As always, your masterful work with the camera is shown well!

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
The figurehead has a feared look on his brow on the prow of the bow, SEA. Such intricate detail the carved in the frigate. Craftsmanship such as this is a lost art in many parts of the world.
Great capture.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
This is so beautifully and intricately carved Mr. C. - I agree with Tick that this is a lost art in many places - wonderfully captured!

I believe a figurehead was an emblem of a ships name too!....
Excellent detail and a great shot of it too!

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
That would have put the fear of God up Lord Nelson...Good one...R.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
Viewed from a substantial distance the face reminds a little the lovely Boris face ... My beast misses one and half canines [teeth that is :)].
Nothing to fear much, dear SEAS.
