About the Item

A very interesting Baroque period carved oak figure of a saint or prophet said to come from a demolished Russian Orthodox church. This compelling figure is set into a niche with round finials on top. The wonderful weathered surface and elongated features of the saint make for distinctive work of art. This carving has real presence. The left hand missing, typical for a carving this age. The right hand likely held an attribute, or staff. Stands on its own or can be hung from a wall. Nice scale at 35.5 inches high.
