Description from the seller

A carved an polychromed 18th/19th century figure of Saint Sebastian, measuring circa 21,3cm in height, his right arm outstretched, his body wounded by arrows.
Sebastian (256-287 AD) was a captain in the Pretorian Guard under Diocletian who was secretly a Christian. When his faith was discovered and he refused to renounce it, he was ordered executed by arrows. The archers left him for dead but Sebastian recovered and was said to be healed by Saint Irene of Rome. After confronting the emperor with his failed execution he could no longer postpone his martyrdom.

Condition: Commensurate with age: small damages, loss of paint, see pictures.

This lot will be carefully packaged and sent by registered and insured mail.
