Sailors Muse
This figurehead reminded me a bit of Mary Poppins. Her garb just needed an umbrella instead in her hands it looks like a riding crop. Perhaps it was to keep the sea at bay and protect those under her watchful eye.

Thanks for the comment and the favorite…I was worried she was a wash due to the sky.

typically, figureheads are sirens, half naked, or the guiding feminine intuition to look out beyond the ship to what might be over the horizon

Yeah I know it was a change of pace on the typical. :)

figureheads have changed throughout history to the point they are no longer on modern ships…
they were seen as protection as far back as the ancient Chinese and Phoenicians
