Italian sculptor (15th–16th century) – Bust of Christ. 34 x 20 x 44 cm (height). Carved entirely in stone, with traces of polychromy. A bust depicting the face of Christ, attributable to Italian sculptural production between the 15th and 16th centuries. The face, characterized by pronounced features, is framed by a thick head of hair with wavy locks falling onto the shoulders, while the beard is rendered with naturalistic attention to detail. The drapery is executed with radial folds converging toward the neck—a formal device frequently found in late medieval and Renaissance devotional sculpture. The surface retains traces of its original polychromy. Condition report: In good condition; there are some chips and typical signs of age-related wear.
