A beautifully sculpted alabaster bust of Jesus Christ with a peaceful expression and substantial weight. Its simple lines and soft white stone make it equally at home in a devotional setting or displayed among classical antiques.

Why I Love It
Solid alabaster with wonderful weight.
Beautiful, serene expression with softly carved facial features.
A classic devotional sculpture that works well on bookshelves, mantels, or under a cloche.
Likely Italian, dating to the early 20th century (circa 1900–1940), when alabaster religious sculptures like this were widely produced for homes and chapels.
The creamy white stone has developed gentle age-related character over time.
Condition
Small chip to the nose.
Chipping around the base.
Scattered age-related yellow staining to the alabaster.
