About the Item

This 19th-century Italian wood carving portrays a ram’s head with impressive naturalistic detail, showcasing the craftsmanship of the era. The ram's characteristic curved horns are meticulously rendered with realistic ridges, while the face bears a soulful expression with finely carved eyes, nostrils, and textured features. Traces of original paint and patina, consistent with its age, add a rich layer of character and authenticity to the piece. Ram head carvings were often symbolic of strength, protection, and fertility, frequently featured in architectural and decorative contexts. This sculpture serves as both a striking artistic centerpiece and a testament to traditional Italian woodcarving techniques. 17" x 11"
