'Infant Jesus'
Magnificent sculpted polychromed and gilded Huamanga stone relief.
25,5 cm.
Huamanga stone is a type of white alabaster with delicate transparencies, and sculptures made from it are named after their place of origin, Huamanga, which is in the Ayacucho region currently. This region gave rise to interesting production of sculptures and reliefs, typically dedicated to the Virgin, Christ, and the Saints.
A true sculptural school emerged between the 16th and 17th centuries, influenced by artists from Navarre and Aragon, who were involved in the creation of altarpieces and church altars.
