Solid silver Christ, Italy, 17th century
This Christ reflects the style of Cristo morto that has thrived through the 17th century after models of Giambologna. Depicted dead, the head leaning on right shoulder, the Christ wears a short perizonium knotted on right hip with a flap. Les are hardly bent, feet are superimposed, and the arms are slightly raised in a semi-circle.
Very good condition, partially black patina. No hallmarks.
