38cm high x 69cm wide
Despite much research we have not been able to ascertain which theatre the inscription pertains to. It has been suggested that this very unusual head may have been used as a stage prop or acting tool, perhaps a very strong man could place his head inside to play a part, hence the eyes that are drilled. Whether it depicts the Green Man, a satyr or the devil himself is as yet unconfirmed.
