Sculpture, cap i pota - 54 cm - Wood

Dressed image of the cap i pota type.
It depicts a standing figure, facing forward and barefoot (carved wood).

The head is carved and polychromed, with short, wavy hair painted a dark shade with gold accents. The complexion is fair, with rosy cheeks and brown, glassy-looking eyes (glass or glass paste).

The body is shaped like a straight tunic or skirt reaching to the knee, with a base prepared to receive clothing. The torso and skirt form a single carved block, with a defined waist and hips, finished with a very rough, ridged white surface.

The arms are articulated at two points, the shoulder and elbow, by means of metal hooks, with flesh-toned forearms and hands: the right hand rests on the chest and the left on the hip. At the shoulder, the joint reveals a dark strip that acts as a hinge, secured with nails or pegs visible on both arms. At the elbow, the joint is made with iron hooks. The arms are white and faceted, with the flesh-toned finish beginning halfway down the forearm.
The feet are barefoot and well carved, with the toenails defined.

The base is octagonal and two-tiered, made of untreated wood. The top surface is silver or gray, the sides are gilded, and the lower section has incised diamond and rosette decoration.

Condition: wear and losses to the polychromy, fine cracks in the neck and right forearm, one finger on the right hand broken off, paint losses on the body and base, and a crack in the base’s lower board. No labels or marks. Height: 54 cm (46 cm without the base).
The right forearm has a longitudinal crack with lifting paint and a small paint loss near the beginning of the flesh-toned area. The right hand has at least one broken or fragmented finger, and the tip of the index finger is missing.
There are several paint losses along the hem of the skirt (see photo). The lower board has a diagonal crack separating two pieces and a few small holes.
