Description
A very fine polychrome carved sculpture of the head of Christ, depicting Him as "The Man of Sorrows" - His suffering and pain are obvious from the detailed carvings and He is likely near death. Probably Italian 16th century. The paint appears to be original - several chips/losses to the carved hair at the neckline, otherwise the head appears to be all original with excellent patination and in good condition. Note the small holes on the sides of His head, likely for a crown of thorns that is missing. It measures approximately 9 1/2"H x 8 1/4"D x 7 1/2"W. Provenance: From a Rochester NY estate, name withheld by family. Provenance: From a Rochester NY estate, name withheld by family.
