A sculptural figure of Christ mounted on a simple wooden cross, marked by a deeply aged and timeworn surface. The carved body retains traces of its original painted finish, now worn to reveal layers of exposed wood, muted pigment, and natural patina. Its elongated proportions and restrained form give the piece a quiet, primitive quality, while the irregular surface bears the evidence of age and handling.
The contrast between the pale, weathered figure and dark wooden cross emphasizes the simplicity of the composition. Both a devotional object and sculptural form, the piece carries a strong presence shaped as much by the passage of time as by its original craftsmanship.
5“ x 2” x 9 ½”
Origin unknown. Found in New England.
