About the sculpture
This statuette represents the nude standing figure of the Infant Christ, with a rosary round the neck, a veil over his head and an orb in the left hand.
It is from the 16th century by an unknown artist and was dug up near Cologne in Germany among other objects.
The material is pipeclay, a fine white clay 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 pipe-clay figures were also fired.
