Beautiful limestone head of Christ, likely from the Lorraine or Champagne region, dating from the 16th century. Originally part of a monumental Crucifixion or possibly a Christ of Pity / Carrying of the Cross group. The stylised, downcast eyes are typical of regional workshops active around 1500, echoing the spirit of the Master of Pont-à-Mousson. The crown of thorns, pierced using a trepan, is a remarkable detail of craftsmanship. A moving fragment of sacred art, still carrying the quiet emotion of its original setting. Perfect for collectors of Medieval and Renaissance sculpture.
