Baroque gilded bronze Christ, Spain, 17^th century

Depicted dead, with head leaning to the right, this Christ has thin and slender limbs. Legs are slightly bend with superimposed feet on each other, and arms are raised in a straight move. Torso shows a very pronounced formation, with hollow belly and ribs distinctly in relief.

He wears a medium-lenght perizonium animated by thick pleats, knotted on the right hip with a long flap floating aside. Hair and beard are worked by a fine chasing, and the crown of thorns has been casted separately and gathered afterwards.

The Christ is nailed on a dark with reddish shine wooden cross, of a more recent fabrication.

Excellent condition, nice specimen, rather well preserved gilding.

From head to feet : 10,3 cm

From hand to hand : 10,1 cm

Cross : 22,5 x 12 cm
