Robin of Risingham

Description

3D model of the half-size replica of the carving known as 'Robin of Risingham' near West Woodburn, Northumberland, UK. It was first recorded in the 18th century when the figure was complete, but now only the lower half survives. The figure originally stood 4 feet (1.2m) high and is holding a bow and a small animal in his hands. He is wearing a tunic and cloak and is probably standing next to an altar. The figure has been likened to the Roman god of woodland, called Silvanus, in the guise of the Celtic god Cocidius. Next to the Roman carving is a half-sized replica, put there in 1983 by the Redesdale Society. For more information see [Geograph](https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6682738)
