The Parrot Captain Gasparilla Corner Person

Details

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 isn't just a decoration; he's a character with serious attitude. Sculpted with Su’s signature expressive style, The Parrot Captain features a hand-painted face with a rugged goatee and a loyal blue and gold macaw perched atop his head.

Standing on impossibly long, black-and-white striped bamboo legs, this mixed-media masterpiece is decked out in gold chains, a leather vest, and a red sash. His arms are crafted from black chenille stems ending in spiraled natural twine hands, ready to grab beads.
