The beautiful, 13cm tall figurine from Strata Florida (Wales, UK) surfaced in 1902 but disappeared into oblivion soon afterwards – because it was deemed an ethnographic import from the American Northwest Coast. It was rediscovered in the early nineties by the second author. In this paper, the 'Strata Florida Manikin' is placed in the context of the northern and north-western European woodcarvings; it is argued that the 2000 year old boxwood figurine is most probably an artefact made on British soil.Keywords: WALESWETLANDSWOODEN ANTHROPOMORPHIC FIGURESIRON AGEROMAN PERIODBOXWOODB UXUS
