"Haute Epoque, Bronze Carved And Chiseled Christ With Halo, Spain 16th Cty"
Haute EpoqueBronze carved and chiseled Christ statue with its halo (this element is often missing, and it is rare to find it still attached to its original Christ)
Please note specially
*the perizonium tied at his waist, the work of the bust of Christ revealing his ribs, its emaciated appearance adding to the drama of the subject.
*The halo is engraved with a Byzantine-inspired cross motif.
*The fingers of hands of this Christ are chiselled in a very precise and individualized way, slightly curled up on themselves.
Spain (?) 16th century
Sizes: 18cm high * 17cm wide (*3cm deep)
Condition: wear especially at the end of feet; his original right arm seems to have been re-soldered (originally ?) before the elbow
Very very nice dark brown and shiny patina
