Scultura, Christ with Crown of Thorns - Hand-Carved - 26 cm - Legno policromo
Expressive antique wooden relief depicting the face of Christ crowned with thorns.
Finely hand-carved and hand-painted, probably a Tyrolean or Bavarian devotional work from around 1850/1900. The piece shows remarkable craftsmanship, with detailed features, original polychromy, and a soft aged patina.
On the reverse side, a Latin handwritten inscription can be read:
“Cœlitus oratorum lumine comitante favente... Hans Stalwartis hanc effigiem exsculpsit. Ornamenta erat et Navous.”
This roughly translates as:
With the heavenly light of those who pray and under divine favor, Hans Stalwartis sculpted this image. It was an ornament (or decoration) of [Navous / possibly a chapel or place name].”
The text suggests the work was created by a craftsman named Hans Stalwartis, possibly for a small chapel or private oratory, giving the piece both artistic and devotional significance.
Dimensions: 26 × 20 × 3 cm
Material: Hand-carved wood, polychrome paint
Condition: Good antique condition with natural age wear, traces of original color, and full legible inscription on the back.
