About the Item

Hand-carved in France circa 1880, this evocative oak figure depicts a solemn hooded monk cradling a bowl, likely a symbol of humility, almsgiving, or simple monastic life. Sculpted from solid oak with rich grain and deep patina, the figure wears a voluminous robe with deeply incised folds, its Gothic styling enhanced by the expressive carving of the face, furrowed brow, and contemplative gaze. Standing 15 inches tall on a shaped plinth base, this devotional sculpture embodies the rustic charm and spiritual austerity associated with cloistered monastic orders. The back of the figure is equally well rendered, showing the flowing lines of the cloak. In excellent antique condition with minor age cracks and surface wear consistent with age, this figure would make a striking accent in a library, study, or alongside ecclesiastical decor. A fine example of late 19th-century French religious carving with enduring character and warmth.

Mid-18th Century French Carved Polychrome Statue of Moses in Oak Niche

Located in Dallas, TX

Crafted 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. After being addressed by God on top of Mount Sinai and given the Tablets of the Law containing the Ten Commandments, Moses descended to his people in the desert. His face was seen to shine with a divine light. (The first Moses with horns was commissioned in 1505 by Pope Julius II for his tomb; it was based on a description in chapter 34 of Exodus in the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible used at that time). The religious and biblical item...
