Sculpture

This lot is part of my special auction of religious objects. Take a look at the others too: who knows, you might find the piece that is missing from your collection or the perfect one to start a collection! On this object: Rare and evocative Italian devotional composition, attributed to the first half of the nineteenth century, with six souls from Purgatory in painted maiolica, immersed in flames and accompanied by a skull on incandescent rocks. An unusual ensemble rich in expressivity, with a strong Memento mori appeal, particularly fascinating as a curiosity from a Wunderkammer. Mounted on a ebonized wooden base, it has some missing parts and flaws compatible with its age, preserving its antique charm. Overall dimensions: 40x22x21 cm. Statuettes: about 10 cm each. Adequate packaging and fast shipping.

Estimate:£376.06
