About the Item

FINELY CARVED CORPUS CHRISTI Europe, 18th century 14 5/16" H x 2" D x 10 1/4" W Boxwood, later display mount A finely carved boxwood figure of the Corpus Christi, originally intended for attachment to a devotional or altar crucifix. Christ is shown with bowed head, extended arms and crossed feet as his flowing perizonium is gathered at the hip. The torso is carefully modeled, with attention given to the rib cage, abdomen, musculature of the arms and legs, facial features, hair and crown of thorns. Particular emphasis is shown where stress strains the flesh of Christ: in the arches of his feet, around his belly and above his wrists. The figure is accompanied by a separately carved Titulus Crucis, inscribed INRI, referring to the Latin phrase traditionally placed above Christ on the Cross. The plaque is not original to the figure, but is appropriate in subject and scale. It likely dates to the 19th century. The carving retains a devotional directness, with the downward inclination of the head and elongated extension of the body emphasizing the image as an object of private or liturgical contemplation. Retaining a very old surface patina. Exquisitely carved. Condition: Losses to the INRI plaque, including the lower curl on the proper left side. The plaque is not original to the composition but is appropriate. Minor loss to the vines of Christ’s crown of thorns. Repair to the proper left hand at the wrist. Joint separations at the shoulder joints. Loss of one finger. Two small mounting holes verso in the perizonium. ref. 606YLI25P About silla antiques & art Established in 2009, we have available in our 9000 square foot brick-and-mortar gallery an ever-changing selection of carefully curated and catalogued furniture, decorative arts, paintings, sculpture and estate jewelry.

Hand-Carved Boxwood Calvary Sculpture, Spain, 17th Century

Located in Madrid, ES

This hand-crafted Calvary sculpture was produced in Spain during the 17th century and is carved entirely from boxwood. The piece depicts the traditional Calvary scene, representing Christ crucified on Mount Golgotha, a subject widely interpreted in Spanish religious art of the period. Boxwood was a favored material for devotional sculptures due to its density, fine grain, and ability to hold highly detailed carving. The sculpture is executed with careful attention to proportion and anatomical detail, reflecting the devotional and didactic purpose of such works. The compact scale and refined carving suggest it was intended for private worship, a chapel setting, or ecclesiastical use, rather than large-scale architectural display. The use of boxwood allows for crisp detailing, particularly in facial features, drapery, and the structure of the cross. Calvary representations played a central role in early modern Catholic iconography, serving as visual tools for meditation and reflection. This example reflects the craftsmanship and religious sensibility characteristic of 17th-century Spanish carving traditions. The sculpture remains a strong historical object, valued for its material quality, traditional iconography, and artisanal execution. It stands as both a devotional artifact and a collectible example of early Spanish religious sculpture.
