About the sculpture
This statuette is made in the 16th century in Germany by an unknown artist.
The statuette shows a nude standing figure representing the Infant Christ holding a dove symbolical of the Holy Spirit in his hands.
It is made of pipeclay, which is a fine white clay also used to make tobacco pipes and pottery. Conveniently situated on a major trading route, Siegburg was a centre of ceramic production with well-organised workshops and kilns in which also pipe-clay figures were fired.
