Large, Extremely Weathered and Hol(e)y Carved Head of Christ (?) Figure hair wreath and this little imperfection just

and this little imperfection just adds to what I read as a sense of anxious eagerness and vulnerability

but fine for resting one's feet

and several creases: diagonal at left and vertical at right

and quite misshapen

Large, Extremely Weathered and Hol(e)y Carved Head of Christ (?) Figure hair wreath and this little imperfection justHoley Christ! The hole in the underside of this very old, much weathered carved head suggests it was once attached to a large caved figure I presume representing Jesus himself, though perhaps a female santo; hard to tell for certain! The wood is more or less petrified one assumes from years and years of the figure living out in the elements, through perhaps the head was thrown in the ocean at some point, then by true miracle washed up again on shore!
