500 years away from home

Ship’s figurehead returned to Denmark.

Gribhunden sank near Swedish port of Ronneby in 1495.

“The wooden face, which resembles a monster or a large grinning dog, had been lying on a seabed off the southern Swedish town of Ronneby for more than five centuries. It holds in its jaws a (wooden) human head.”
