Vintage religious bas-relief panel of Jesus Christ wearing the crown of thorns, an iconographic theme known as “Ecce Homo” or “The Face of Christ.” Although it has the appearance of old wood, these pieces are often made of plaster or papier-mâché with a painted finish that mimics wood grain. There are also hand-carved wooden versions, which are usually more valuable. The numbers “16” and “28” in the top corners are specific markings of this vintage panel model, helping to identify the series or workshop of production. Such items often date back to the mid-20th century (around the 1950s) and are commonly found in antique markets across Europe, especially in France, Italy, or the Netherlands. The piece has an authentic aged patina, with slightly chipped paint, giving it a rustic and antique character. Size 31.3 / 28.4 cm. Heavy
