Striking tree carving of Robert Stanfield, a resident of Truro, Nova Scotia Premier, Member of Parliament for Colchester Hants and Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada from 1967 to 1976.
He is from the Stanfield family of Stanfields Underwear fame, which has been manufactured in Truro since 1870.
This is one of the Truro Tree Sculpture Project carvings. The project was established in 1999 to recover some of the beauty lost from the ravages of Dutch Elm Disease. Since that time, nearly 50 wooden pieces of art have been completed around the approximately 5-mile long "Sculpture Route" in downtown Truro and environs.
Mr Stanfield's effigy was the 10th to be completed and stands next to the Truro Town offices at 1 Church Street.
