Slightly Abstract Head of Beaudicea statue for Uotdoors outside in your Garden or Inddoors Inside your house by Teresa Wells, member of the Royal Society of Sculptors, who writes…
” Boudica, the legendary Queen of the British Celtic Iceni tribe, led an uprising of the Iceni, Triovantes and others against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire in AD 60 or 61. She went on to destroy Camulodunum (modern Colchester), at that time a RNoman outpost for discharged Roman soldiers, and site of a temple to the former emperor Claudius.
It is alleged that she died shortly afterwards having poisoned herself.
The life size bronze bust ‘Boudica’ 2018, by the figurative sculptor Teresa Wells MRSS, draws inspiration from this important cultural symbol in the UK. A legendary beauty and ordinary human being avenging her lost freedom, (according to the roman senator and historian, Tacitus), the sculpture encapsulates her bravery in the fissure and ferric patina executed on the left hand side of her face.

- The ArtParkS Guarantee
All the sculptures on the website are described by the artists themselves, stating the material they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors, they have a guarantee of 10 years, subject to the effects of weathering, which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them regular cleaning and maintenance.
For instance, bronze, and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze, will acquire a green patina, usually rather sought after. All can attract moss, lichen, and a greenish pollen, especially under trees, which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing-up liquid.
Iron and steel will oxidise (rust), and this falls outside our guarantee.
Organic material like wood and bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited. You should discuss any guarantee directly with the artist, as this too falls outside our guarantee.
- How Does ArtParkS Ensure Your Protection?
From the moment you place an order and pay ArtParkS, you are protected because half of the payment is immediately used to pay the artist’s deposit, while the other half is retained until the sculpture is delivered safely.
Insurance in transit should be arranged with the artist prior to ordering.
- Why Choose ArtParkS for Your Purchase?
When you choose a work of art from ArtParkS, you can be confident that it has been selected by ArtParkS’s curators and will be dispatched directly from the artist’s studio or foundry only after passing their quality control process.
- How to Purchase from ArtParkS
You can either speak with or correspond with Peter at ArtParkS before placing an order, or simply click the Buy Nowbutton and follow the instructions, adding the delivery charge unless the artist is offering free delivery.
