The Dresser

 

Loggerheads at The Dresser

On the back wall of The Dresser, a fashionable clothes shop in Shrewsbury is this plaque of loggerheads. It looks like a hobby-piece, rather than a civic installation.
The owners, who like it as a fun-piece, say they have no idea how it came to be there, or who made it.

Anyone want to attempt an answer?

    How strange that no-one seems to know the origin of this
