About the Item

Sculptural 18th century Italian hand-carved wood figure of Christ on an optical calcite crystal base. The original red bole shows through on the artifact and coordinates with the phantom red hues of the calcite crystal base. Red bole is a mixed clay base traditionally applied on top of gesso to provide a base for the gold leaf, enhancing the color. The figure of Christ that was once a part of a crucifix from a church in Tuscany. Tangerine crystal quartz points have been applied to the broken arm of Christ and adorned around the remaining hand and feet of the figure. The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the Italian figure of Christ is originally 18th century. Together, the figure of Christ and natural elements create a figurative, contemporary work of historic significance.
