Item: 5s. 2d. to be paid to my best Jester Grimalkin, a fynne foole, for dispelling of the melancholie on a wet Wednesday afternoon this forteenth day of February, though in doing it he didst cause offence by tweeking the Lord Privey Chancellor's nose and brandishing a suggestively shaped root vegetable before my Lady with attendant lewd and unseemly comments. It did make me laugh and for this I give him licence: you be a jewel amongst the dull and drear Court, Grimalkin - a fellow of infinate jest: with your elasticalle face and wilde humour, songes and japes this Winter shall passe the easier for your kinde witte.
These castings are designed, sculpted and manufactured in England, using resin-bonded marble, bronze and Cotswold stone. Modern moulding techniques faithfully reproduce the intricate and painstaking work of the sculptor whilst giving the appearance of real carved stone or sculpted terracotta. The resin sculptures are weatherproof, the plaques having a hole drilled in the back for easy hanging
