Summary:
Rapunzel, the character from the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, leans out through the cut-out window near the top of a tower. She is visible only from waist length and wears a brown dress. She has blue eyes and her blonde hair is in a long braid that hangs out the back of the window and down to the bottom of the tower. The sculpture is carved from a tree trunk.
