About the Item

An unusual and rare processional or lecturer figure from the 17th century, also called Mannequins. Carved from wood and of very good quality. A detailed and particular elaboration of the bust, the lower part is made of a frame construction, which shows that the figure was solemnly dressed for the processions. This came from traditions from southern Europe and spread through the art of cribs and the Theatre Sacrum since the end of the late 16th century als increasingly in Germany. Mannequins are mobile sculptures in human style.
