The is a wonderful and rare statue of most probably Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd. The style and wood indicate this is Medieval, around 1300 or the reign of King Edward II or a little later. Similar examples of the style with the long face and beard can be found in many city museums across Ireland and the UK. I think the wood is Alder wood and traces of polychrome paint can be found. There is a rich and thick patina all over and also on the back at the bottom I think are traces of a slight burning once upon a time. This is an arresting piece and a rare survivor outside of a museum. There are two very small chips to the wood on the forehead and on the middle back. This is a great chance to acquire such a unique historical piece, which was formerly part of private German collection.

Inquiries and extra photo requests very welcome.
