Seal Basking

The hand carved and painted face of this wooden seal is very appealing. 

Seals love to haul themselves out between tides, often in very large groups, and can be seen lolling playfully on rocks waiting for lift off from the incoming tide. 

This lovely creature, sometimes called the ‘roman seal’ because of its distinctive nose, is found mainly around rocky northern and western coasts. 

Simple elegant decoration beautifully hand carved and painted.
