Advert Description

Are you interested in this item? This item is up for auction at Catawiki. Please click on "respond to advert" (orange button) to get redirected to the Catawiki website. Catawiki’s goal is to make special objects universally available. Our weekly auctions feature thousands of unusual, rare, and exceptional objects you won’t find in just any store. Ancient wooden Christ dating back to the 16th century, made by a late-Renaissance sculptor from the German area.
Christ is depicted still alive with his gaze turned upwards and his feet crossed.
It could be boxwood as it is a very hard wood, but I'm not sure.

Sculpture probably created for private worship and intended for a noble residence.
In the past the Christ had undergone a repainting which was fortunately largely removed.
I point out wear, defects, small breaks (see PHOTO).
The photos are an integral part of the description (see PHOTO).
High period sculpture from a private Italian collection.
