Colour photo of a bronze statue of an ancient king, sited on the coast of Cornwall. The figure is only partially “there”, with large gaps in the body and flowing cape. The ancient king is hooded and looks down, while planting the tip of his great battle sword in the earth. Behind and through the figure, we see the rocky escarpment on which the sculpture stands and then the sea and sky.

MEMORY OF ANCIENT KINGS
“Gallos” (2016), an 8-foot tall bronze statue of an ancient king by Rubin Eynon, stands guard at the faint ruins of Tintagel Castle in Cornwall. The site is thought to have been a summer residence for the kings of Dumnonia between the late 4th and late 8th centuries, i.e., between the end of Roman rule in Britain and the Anglo-Saxon period.
