Condition
Please refer to the conditions of sale
Overall in fair condition. The wooden base is in two pieces that seem pegged together. ( they fit nicely but slightly loose )
The figure with a long slim opening in the back, partially hollowed inside ( as visible in photos )
As expected of a wood sculpture of this age and fragility there are expected age cracks and shrinkage to the wood with minor losses to the extremities (top of the head hair details ) Structurally, the statue has been preserved in good condition with significant traces of the original gesso, pigmentation and gold paint preserved.
Beautifully carved hands with no losses to the fingers, nicely carved layered robes with traces of gilt.
