Why not mount a bow maiden ship figure head!
A ship's figurehead is the carved wooden figure traditionally mounted on the prow of early sailing ships. It gave a ship unique character and was believed to sooth the sea gods and make sure the voyage will be safe.
And here's a beautiful bow maiden mounted on the side of a house that I discovered at The Lennoxx.
You might find the perfect bow maiden for your home at Ebay, The Ancient Mariner, or at the Nautical Supply Shop.
