Scheherazade

Using her gift of storytelling, Scheherazade is able to escape the fate Shahryar has decreed for his wives. With the threat of execution at dawn hanging over her, she ends and begins a new story each night, and thus enchanted he spares her until she can finish. Widely read of the classics, philosophers and poetics, Scheherazade’s stories become the epic that is the One Thousand and One Nights, but the truths hidden within her tales are more real than many know. Sculpted by James Van Schaik and painted for display by Simon Bradley. Cast in white metal. Supplied unpainted with a 25mm base.
