A new artwork depicting a county flower sculptured out of ancient oak is set to be completed.
Natasha Houseago, who has been the artist in residence in Ducklington, Oxfordshire, since July said she had been working “one or two days a week on the fantastic ancient piece of oak”.
The work, which will be fully completed in the village on Saturday, depicts a snake’s head fritillary – the rare county flower of Oxfordshire.
It will make up one part of a trail of pieces, commissioned by the local parish council, which is set to open next year.
