The Child Jesus carrying the cruciger orb - wooden statue from the 15th century. Salvador Mundi. As a Christian symbol, the orb symbolizes Christ's temporal and spiritual dominion over the world. In Western iconography, from the 15th century, a Christ carrying the orb in his hand receives the name Salvator Mundi (savior of the world). The orb as a royal symbol is therefore a reminder for a king that he is the representative of Christ on earth. Work from the second half of the 15th century.
