God The Father, 17th Century Polychrome Wood Sculpture (h 67 Cm)

This 17th century sculpture of God the Father (Trinity) was part of a Throne of Grace.

He is dressed in a long loose dress with pleats, tight above the waist and revealing the tips of his shoes, and a red cope.

Hollow back, formerly reattached to an oak panel.
In good condition with gaps, split.
Posterior polychromy
