Tin Figurine
A seated figurine made from tin, with a little zinc. The figurine was found in 1853, three metres below the surface on Bodwen Moor, Lanlivery, Cornwall, near the site of an old smelting house or Jews house. Hebrew characters are still visible, variously interpreted as signifying Rapacious Eagle and Jehovah is our King. Jewish settlers were involved in mining and smelting, especially following the Norman invasion of England and until their expulsion by King Edward I in 1290. When it was found, the figure was wearing a crown which was lost after it was taken to Lanhydrock House. The figure was gifted to the Royal Institution of Cornwall in 1948 by Lord Robartes of Lanhydrock. 13th century. Sculptor: Unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Tin Figurine. Crafted from tin with traces of zinc, this seated figurine was discovered in 1853 on Bodwen Moor in Lanlivery, Cornwall. Its location near an old smelting house or Jews house suggests the involvement of Jewish settlers who played a significant role in mining and smelting during medieval times. The intriguing aspect of this figurine lies in its Hebrew characters that have survived over centuries. Interpreted as both Rapacious Eagle and Jehovah is our King, these inscriptions provide insights into the beliefs and symbolism associated with this ancient artifact. Originally adorned with a crown, sadly lost after being transported to Lanhydrock House, the Tin Figurine now resides at the Royal Institution of Cornwall since Lord Robartes generously gifted it to them in 1948. The sculptor responsible for creating such an enigmatic piece remains unknown. With its grey metallic appearance and unmistakable medieval charm, this artwork serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage during the Middle Ages. It stands as a reminder of the diverse communities that once thrived within these lands before their expulsion by King Edward I in 1290. Mike Searle's expertly captured photograph immortalizes this extraordinary sculpture, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance and marvel at its enduring beauty.
