Doesn’t this figure look great, shows the skill and good workmanship of the carver? Would dread to think how much work and time went into creating this wood carved figure, hours I would imagine. I would assume the man is a miner, most likely down a coal mine, on closer inspection of the lantern, it goes to show how very little light they would of had back in the days of mining. They wouldn’t of had the tools and machinery we have now in the 21st century.
Must have been difficult to use the rope to lower yourself down and keep hold of the lantern, my luck would be dropping the lantern and being in complete darkness.
