Sculpture of Christ in alabaster on embossed bed with cherubs, 16th century

Gagini. Restorations on Christ.

Sculpture depicting Christ laid on a catafalque supported by 6 angels. The catafalque is then decorated with a shroud, folded in an unnatural way and has a cushion embossed with large leaves worked in fake damask. On this bed lies the body of Christ, depicted in a total state of abandonment, although the musculature still appears vibrant. The work, of fine workmanship, is the result of Trapani craftsmen of the 18th century. There are restoration interventions.
