Goa 17th -18th century

A large 17th - 18th century Goan carved ivory depiction of Christ as the good shepherd.

The figure of the good shepherd sits cross legged atop a tall column set into a three-sided socle formed as three angels. One lamb is shown sitting on His shoulder and He holds another in the crook of His left arm. The shepherd wears a fur garment and a belt about His waist from which a gourd flask hangs. The hollow ivory column is set into the socle via a wooden spike.
With fine vertical cracks and a small drilled hole to the top of the head. Height 34 cm.
