Figurehead of 'H.M.S. Ajax', a 74-gun third rate built for the Navy by Perry's Yard, Blackwall, in 1809. She was converted to an auxiliary screw ship in 1846 and broken up in 1864. The polychrome-painted, bearded male figure is a half-length bust in classical armour and plumed helmet, above a fiddle (backward turning) scroll: the armour is similar to that of FHD0061, made at Plymouth nearly thirty years before, suggesting common forms of source.
