Stake attention in this memory
A front-facing, detailed view captures a bust of a female figure, identified as "The Queen (Birmingham)" by artist Hew Locke. The bust, rendered in a light-grey or white material, exhibits a stern, classical facial expression. It is elaborately adorned with a multi-component headdress and attire. A large, gilded, openwork filigree structure rises prominently from behind the head. Auburn-colored strands, resembling hair or fiber, frame the face, intertwined with gold and black chains, small black decorative charms, and a central star-like medallion on the forehead. The shoulders and upper chest are covered by intricate gold-toned filigree metalwork, interspersed with black mesh or lace, and draped with strands of gold beads. Several antique-style coins of varying sizes and metallic hues (copper and silver tones) are visibly integrated into this chest ornamentation. The artwork is presented within a clear display case or behind a glass barrier, evident from reflections. The background is a uniform light blue wall, and the pedestal supporting the bust is a light pinkish-beige surface. This artwork is located and displayed at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
