Antique Chalk Religious Figure of Christ as child, with two doves resting at his feet. A sweet rendedition of the child Jesus holding a gilt Cross with the two birds below Him, who are drinking from a stream that symbolises the "living water" of Jesus.

The Christ child is leaning on the rock {He is the rock of ages} covered in roses, below his feet is the Crown of Thorns. The facial features are well painted by hand, this has all the wear you would expect of a piece of this age. A decorative and meaningful devotional work, display this with your French santos, missals, and other religious antiques. Measures:7" x 5" x 8~1/2" h.
