This massive stone head was discovered at a depth of 10 ft in 1811
when foundations were being dug for a house at Essex, MA. It is twice life-size, and the style
invites comparison with that of known Nordic sculpture, notably the sunken
eye-sockets (as in a Breton style) and the straight narrow lips. It is on display in the Peabody Museum,
Salem, MA. (Photo by James
