17th C Spanish Corpus Christi

17th C Spanish Corpus Christi with a height of 155cm. Made of limewood and delicately sculpted with high quality details. The elongated, thin and stretched anatomical features contribute to the overall feeling of fragility of this Christ. The corpus has beautiful rests of Polychrome, paint, cracks in the wood, and some traces of time. The anatomical elements such as the ribs, toes, tendons, and knees are very finely sculpted for such a large statue. The head and face are expressive thanks to the detailing of the hair, eyes, and mouth with teeth, which is very rare. The forged elements, such as the nail through the feet and the original suspension bracket with forged nails, are still present. Parts of the old connecting plugs to the arms are also still present. This version of a corpus christ is representing a suffering christ with serene expression.
