Scale: 1:48. A plan showing the trail-board and proposed figurehead for an unnamed warship. This style of figurehead would be seen on a ship-of-the-line, such as a Third Rate, during the latter part of the eighteenth century. Other examples include HMS Captain (1787) and HMS Leviathan (1790), both 74-gun Third Rates, which had war-trophy figureheads or similar proposals.

The figurehead is an elaborate war trophy sketch consisting of a stylised Roman cuirass breastplate at the top of head piece and trail-board. Large ostrich plumes rise from the neck of the cuirass and diamond-headed spears come from the right armhole. A scaled serpent (or stylised dolphin) has its tail wrapped around one of the spears, as it faces down the trail-board. A banner is draped over part if its body. The trail-board is a series of foliage flourishes in waves and circles, some of which start from the serpent’s mouth like a waterspout. The plan also includes some faint pencil sketches of foliage in the top left and bottom right corners.

The reverse of the plan has pencil and crayon sketches relating to branches (in crayon) and female figures (in pencil), as well as other less-well defined illustrations.
