Authentic antique Corpus Christi figure carved in wood and retaining traces of its original polychrome decoration.
Probably French work from the 18th century, this expressive devotional sculpture once belonged to a crucifix and displays remarkable character, beautiful age-related wear, and a genuine historic patina.
The finely carved face, flowing hair, and elegant drapery reflect the craftsmanship of traditional religious sculpture. Remnants of original polychromy, including flesh tones, blue and red pigments, remain visible throughout the figure.
