- Mid-18th Century French Carved Polychrome Statue of Moses in Oak NicheLocated in Dallas, TXCrafted in France circa 1760 and resting in a carved oak niche, the figure depicts the prophet Moses, the most important prophet in Judaism and Christianity. Moses is best known from the story in the biblical Book of Exodus and Quran as the lawgiver who met God face-to-face on Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments after leading his people, the Hebrews, out of bondage in Egypt and to the "promised land" of Canaan. He is represented with horns on top of his head. The horns came about because of an ambiguity of the Latin version of Exodus 34, 30.

- Antique Quality Carved Solid Nutwood Christ with Palm Leaf Sculpture / StatuetteLocated in Lisse, NLFinest quality carved sculpture of Jesus with a marvelous patina. This marvelous quality, hand-carved sculpture of our Lord Jesus is among the finest we have ever seen and this truly is a work of religious art. It may be relatively small in size, but both the quality in the details and the beauty of His posture are simply majestic. For the sculptor not to leave his signature on this work of beauty, to us, shows his modesty. We believe that most artists in the religious genre felt that their gift/talent was god given and marking their sculptures, to them, was a sign of too much ego. The highly skilled sculptor must have spent weeks rather than days creating this antique statuette...Category
