An Antique Carved Wooden Sculpture Of A Monk, A Saint, Or An Apostle, Dating From The Late 16th To The Early 15th Century

This antique wooden sculpture, likely made of oak or walnut, depicts a monk, a saint, or an apostle, potentially dating from the late 16th to early 17th century, is clad in a hooded cowl tied with a cord, in a posture of devotion or ecstasy, with his left hand resting on his chest.

It is made of hand-carved wood, with traces of its original polychromy, characteristic of Western European Christian art. Based on the style of the drapery and the craftsmanship of the monoxyle sculpture, this type of object is generally dated between the 16th century (High Renaissance) and the 17th century.

traces of wear, missing pieces, and holes from inactive woodworms

The central hole (or mortise) beneath the base was historically used to insert a wooden tenon or metal rod in order to securely fasten the statuette to a wider pedestal, an altar, or a piece of religious furniture.
