A Ivory Figure of the Christ Child
India, Goa, 17th/18th Century
Standing nude with his right hand raised in the gesture of benediction and left hand lowered holding an orb, his cherubic face delicately modeled with hair in wavy curls and remains of cold gilding, his body with fleshy folds at his thighs, on a contemporary 18th century marquetry base
11 in. (29.3 cm.) high
