- Lot Description
Latin America, Mexico, Spanish Colonial Period, ca. 18th to 19th century CE. A finely carved wooden Cristo (Crucified Christ) that captures the sorrow and bloodshed Christ endured before fulfilling his role on Earth. The cross is set upon an integral double tiered pedestal and a banner with "INRI"- now faded - at top of the cross. The figure of Christ is gaunt and pale - with streaks of red blood running across his body from his pierced limbs and forehead. He wears only a blue mantle around his waist, and his head tilts forward with his eye half shut, sans characteristic beard and shoulder length hair. This example was created when Mexico was referred to as New Spain and the Catholic Church's missionary work was expanding northward into the Southwest region of the United States. Size: 14" W x 21.5" H (35.6 cm x 54.6 cm)
Provenance: ex-private Glorieta, New Mexico, USA collection
