Sculpted in wood and richly polychromed, the figure shows the Christ Child with his right hand raised in blessing, while the left hand holds a sphere — a traditional symbol of divine authority and royal regalia.
His serene expression and gesture of benediction invite spiritual reflection, while the craftsmanship highlights the elegance and sensitivity of Flemish Baroque sculpture.

This devotional figure likely stood in a private chapel or was part of an altar setting, where it would have served as a visible reminder of Christ’s universal reign.

The colors and delicately rendered details reflect the enduring artistry of Flemish religious carving from the period.
