This is one of well over a dozen heads which grace the stately Cathedral Church of St. James at the corner of Church and King Streets. There are no known notes or references to these many faces in the church's archive so it is assumed that rather than representing specific people, they were instead generic ornaments thought to be appropriate to the building style and scope. When looked at together, one might suppose that they are meant to represent men and women from a range of positions in society and at the various stages of life.
