Impression Die Mermaid of Zennor

This little component depicts the mermaid of Zennor, the subject of a Cornish folktale about a mermaid that frequented the parish of Zennor for many years. She is most often depicted holding a mirror in one hand and a comb in the other. This legend is unique compared to other mermaid legends because the mermaid seeks out the church, rather than being repelled by it.
