Hand carved figure head of Christ

Vintage Hand-Carved Wooden Head of Christ
A lovely vintage hand-carved wooden head of Christ, beautifully sculpted from a light-coloured wood and finished with a gentle sheen from its lacquered or varnished surface. The carving has a wonderful simplicity and warmth, with lovely detail in the expression and flowing hair.
The natural grain of the wood is particularly appealing, with a visible knot and a slight split in this area, adding to its individual character.
A rather lovely piece of vintage folk art and religious interest, with a timeless, understated quality.
Height 17.5cm.
Base 7cm x 6cm.
