An English Medieval Carved Stone Grotesque.

In my opinion the carving represents a howling dog with its head to the side growling at the county below with its haunches raised ready to leap on anybody misbehaving.

Circa 1500

Recently found in the Salisbury area

Of good size at 11" deep and 10" wide.

The top of his mouth has now gone but he displays well and can still look menacing when displayed high.
