One of only two carved panels found, this incomplete Romaine panel is carved in oak to show a female head in profile facing right behind an arch. She is wearing a coif and depicted a very classical style, typical of the first half of the sixteenth century.
This panel may have been part of an item of furniture, although it may have have formed part of the fixed decorative woodwork that typically enriched sixteenth and seventeenth century ships, of which little is known from the Mary Rose.
This panel has been partially destroyed by worms, probably Teredo worms, with holes clearly visible along one edge.
