Christ In Ivory, France 17th Century.

Grand Christ 37 centimeters from the end of the hands to the end of the feet and 23.5 centimeters wide.

A real work with an attributed system or in the taste of Pierre Simon Jaillot, Christ, sculpted open mouth, has, by the mechanism of a removable ankle, a system that brings back the dentition.

We can therefore admire Christ with or without teeth.

What did you want to contextualize?

The artist by adding this detail to his work?

Sculptor of art objects native to Saint Claude in the Jura.

In addition to the refinement brought to the execution of this sculpture in the precision of the scissors at the level of the hair and beard, the drape and the protruding cord!! This sculpture has a curiosity! Christ is represented open mouth, a removable ankle brings back the dentition.

Cross brought back.

Artist (attributed to): Pierre Simon Jaillot (1631-1681)

Period: 17th century

Style: Louis XIV - Regency

Condition: Very good condition

Although a note found in Jaillot's papers tells us that for a crucifix sixteen inches long from the end of the fingers of the feet to those of the hands" he usually asked for thirty louis of gold "without understanding ivory"

No lack or break.
