About the Item

A tender and expressive carved wood figure of the resting Niño Jesús, originating from Guatemala, 19th century. The Christ Child is depicted with blonde hair, one hand gently placed over his heart and the other resting near his ear, conveying themes of divine love and spiritual attentiveness. Painted directly on wood with soft polychrome tones, the figure embodies innocence, heavenly purity, and trust in divine care. A rare and emotive example of Guatemalan devotional art blending Spanish Colonial tradition with local religious expression.
