"The Feathered Captain" Gasparilla Corner Person

Get ready to surrender the booty! Commemorate Tampa’s legendary Gasparilla Pirate Fest with this one-of-a-kind "Corner Person" created by renowned folk artist Su Griggs.

This handcrafted pirate commands attention with a dashing, aristocrat-gone-rogue look. Sculpted with Su’s signature expressive style, "The Feathered Captain" wears a black pirate hat adorned with dramatic black feathers. He features a grey goatee and a gold hoop earring.

His bamboo legs are wrapped in black chenille spirals, creating the look of textured leggings or tall boots. He is dressed in a red tunic with teal breeches and a red sash with long fringe. His belt is loaded with treasure, holding an amber-colored horn and a black dagger hilt studded with rhinestones. He is armed with a wire pirate hook on his right hand, while his left arm ends in a spiraled natural twine hand.
