This life size human sculpture was part of the ornamentation of the stern of a Dutch Fluit ship. The shipwreck, called Ghost Ship, of the Fluit ship was found in 2003 in the Baltic sea near Gotska Sandön. The remains are remarkably intact, with masts still standing. The result of a dendro is 1640 +/- 4 (1636-1666). Therefore this ship was probably wrecked around mid 17th century. For information see [MaSS](https://mass.cultureelerfgoed.nl/ghostship).
