19th century plaster and wood crucifixion statue of large proportion
Code: 10147
Dimensions:
A lovely example of 19th century ecclesiastical statuartory.
This exceptional antique depiction of the crucifixtion of Christ is modelled in polychrome painted plaster and timber.
Measuring over 6 feet 8" tall this beautifully detailed religious statue would originally have hung in a chapel or church, given its styling it's most likley continental in origin.
The figure of Jesus Christ has been wonderfully crafted and hand painted in fine detail.
The cross itself is made of solid pine with a fine layer of plaster and paint to create the illusion of roughly sawn timber, with knot and grain detailing.
Examples of this age, size and quality are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and are highly sought after.
To the top of the the cross is the original wrought iron hanging loop.
Dimensions:
208.2cm height of cross
211cm total height
115cm widest point
25cm deepest point
Some age related wear and tear as expected given the fragile nature of the piece.

Some losses to thorn crown, back of one shoulder and right hand finger tips.
Minor nibbles to toes.
Surface wear to paint.
Hanging loop sound.
