An earthenware figure of a sailor. The white base, moulded as rockwork, is extended behind the figure to support it and has an anchor in relief, painted black, on which the sailor leans. He is depicted with legs crossed and his right hand on his hip, wearing white trousers, a green checked shirt or guernsey, a blue jacket with gold lace, a black neckerchief and a white hat. The face, hands and hair are painted in naturalistic colours and the base is enclosed with and decorated with a gilt line.
