Religious Sculpture

Very good - slight wear, commensurate with age
A handcrafted wooden sculpture of a devoted priest made in Italy in 1948 ("Repvbblica Italiana, Contemp en Verona").
This Italian, striking wooden statue, carved from a richly grained piece of timber, captures the timeless ritual of a priest raising his hands in supplication to the divine. The figure is robed in detailed ceremonial garb, with intricately carved patterns that highlight the skill and dedication of the artist.
The priest’s upward-reaching arms and expressive posture convey a sense of fervent devotion and spiritual intensity, as if caught in the midst of a sacred act of sacrifice. The natural beauty of the wood, with its deep hues and complex textures, enhances the statue’s profound presence.
This sculpture is not just a depiction of religious practice but a powerful embodiment of the connection between humanity and the divine. Raising your hands in the name of the Lord is an act of worship that appears many times in the Bible. Psalm 141:2 says, Let my prayer be as incense before you; let my lifted hands be as the evening sacrifice. Incense always represents worship in the Bible. In the temple, both morning and evening sacrifices were offered.
