Alpine, probably German or Austrian. The Easter Sepulchre is a recess or tomb in some churches where sacred elements were kept during Holy Week to commemorate the death and resurrection of Christ. A mourning angel with a crown of thorns can represent the suffering and passion of Christ, as well as the meaning of the crown of thorns itself. According to the New Testament, a woven crown of thorns was placed on the head of Jesus during the events leading up to his crucifixion. It was one of the instruments of the Passion, employed by Christ's captors both to cause him pain and to mock his claim of authority. Signs of age with scuffs and scratches to the wooden panels and painted surface. Structurally solid and strong. Small chipped area of wood to the top left tip. H: 185 × W: 100 x D: 5 cm

19th Century Italian Alabaster Carved Head Of A Bishop Saint
Located in Stamford, CT
19th century Italian carved alabaster head of a saint wearing a bishop's mitre in the Gothic style. Though a fragment, the intense gaze of this small carving gives it a lot of presence. Rendered by a master carver, this piece has a lot of personality. Likely an architectural fragment, the weathered surface and distressed condition only add to the appeal of this unique sculpture. Mounted on an ebonized walnut base. 10 inches high 3.5 square 5 7/8 inches high by 4 wide by 3.75 deep (head only)
