[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9564833, member: 2844"]Your statue is Jesus as the Good Shepherd (Christians are his flock). He would have had a shepherd's crook in his left hand. He is antique, has considerable (and beautiful) wear, but I don't know how antique he is. Germany has had some of the best religious art carvers in the world, and life-like carving began in the Gothic period. But none of us here are experts in this field, which means we can only guess or post pages of photos of Good Shepherds etc that are not relevant. So I would advise you to send your photos to a German museum of religious art, like the Schnütgen Museum in Köln/Cologne: [URL]https://www.museum-schnuetgen.de/Kontakt[/URL][/QUOTE]
