Statue, Heilige Judas of Matthias - 39.5 cm - Wood

Beautiful hand-carved and polychrome wooden sculpture depicting the apostle Judas Iscariot or Saint Matthias. Spanish, circa 1950-1960 or somewhat older. The figure is recognizable by the money purse (or coin pouch) that he holds in his left hand. In Christian iconography, the money purse is the fixed attribute of Judas Iscariot, who served as treasurer of the apostles and betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver according to the Bible story. Because Judas is rarely depicted as a saint with a halo, the statue may also symbolize Matthias (the apostle who took his place) or a specific folk-art design of an apostle/saint. The statue is executed in a rustic, expressionist folk-art style with a gold-colored halo and a green-blue mantle, with the texture of the wood carving clearly visible. Dimensions: stated in the photos. Condition: in good condition, of course with signs of use due to age. Photos are part of the description. These were taken under artificial light; colors may differ. Atmospheric impressions are shown (AI) The statue is well packed and sent by registered mail. Jiljes where quality and service come first!
