About This Item
A figure of myth and lore, possibly based on a real person, Herne the Hunter was first mentioned in writing by Shakespeare himself. Here, standing along with a deer and wolf, hunting horn and bow in his hand, the sculpture represents an iconic character that may have also been based partially on legends from early pagan folk. It is said that Herne is a ghost who was also a keeper in Windsor Forest in England. The statue is finished in bronze, with hand-painted highlights that make the tall huntsman come to life from the antlers on his head down to his bare feet. Fans of mythology and an earlier time when man was more connected to his fellow beast will love this work of art.
