Large Polychrome Terracotta Sculpture From The Late 17th/early 18th Century

Large polychrome terracotta sculpture from the late 17th/early 18th century, depicting Saint Onuphrius. It features a classic depiction of the hermit with long hair and beard, wearing a loincloth made of plants. At his feet is a doe, a classic image found in sculptures of Saint Onuphrius, symbolizing the life of a hermit and penance. The sculpture's masterful depiction and attention to detail, such as the hair, beard, and clearly defined anatomy, are noteworthy. Saint Onuphrius is venerated as an intercessor for the recovery of lost things.
