Re: Carved wooden bust finial
do you think it may have been carved from reclaimed wood? I'm thinking maritime, sailor made, folk art

I’m thinking Maritime too, but I don’t think it’s reclaimed wood, although I don’t know what the wood is. It’s too light to be oak. Poplar, maybe. It’s been carved with a notch front and back, and holes through the sides for a wooden dowel. So made to fit on something.

Maybe a decorative feature from outside a building or shop?
He’s certainly got an 18th C look about him.

Might it be a seal or a dolphin rather than a dog - bit more nautical/ maritime?

Could this be farther afield? East? South and East? (Further than Bognor)
