FOOTNOTES: This is only a guess. But the sculpture looks as if it is based on a tree trunk. Maybe, when the house was built, a large tree required cutting down, leaving a flat topped stump. The upper part looks as if it is a kind of treated/stained balsa wood that has been shaped, added to the tree stump, and then the whole has been stained/painted over so it blends together. However this was done, the result looks very inventive!

This is a delightful piece of art. The Neptune statue is so intriguing to look at..
You're right, it does look as though it was carved from a tree that grew there. Excellent find!
