Keystone head

Sculptors: modelled by Alexander Handyside Ritchie, carved by James Shanks, 1854.

 

Detail of a Law Lord keystone from the Royal Faculty of Procurators' Hall in Nelson Mandela Square. It was not the head but the neatly-striped stonework that first caught my eye. Then I wondered why he should have foliage on his head.
