Large, Extremely Weathered and Hol(e)y Carved Head of Christ (?) Figure hair wreath and with that straight line

and with that straight line of a mouth and deep set eyes I think he's got a bit of a young Ebenezer Scrooge aspect

3/16" wide at handle

There is some crazing visible in the white glaze of the flower and a bit of bleed of the brown glaze

and which he noted on the drawing

and several creases: diagonal at left and vertical at right

Large, Extremely Weathered and Hol(e)y Carved Head of Christ (?) Figure hair wreath and with that straight lineHoley Christ! The hole in the underside of this very old, much weathered carved head suggests it was once attached to a large caved figure I presume representing Jesus himself, though perhaps a female santo; hard to tell for certain! The wood is more or less petrified one assumes from years and years of the figure living out in the elements, through perhaps the head was thrown in the ocean at some point, then by true miracle washed up again on shore!
