Description
The Boar Garden features a statue of a wild boar on a pedestal, classified as a Grade II* structure. The statue was purchased in Florence from Thomas Paleto on 15 July 1768 for Frederick Howard, the 5th Earl of Carlisle. It is made of marble and stands on a sandstone pedestal. The pedestal has two steps leading up to a rectangular base with a moulded base and panels that display foliate and floral designs in relief, topped with a moulded cornice. The wild boar statue is a copy of a classical original that is currently housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
