The heart has a gorgeous golden aureole and a green crown of thorns; in the upper section of the heart a flame grows and has a cross on top symbolizing Christ’s passion. Colonial Houses in Antigua had a large collection of Religious Images as decorative items. The piece is dressed with a white gown and a red robe, both with beautiful golden details. Notice the carefully carved hair, moustaches and beard details, gorgeous light brown glass eyes and blushed cheeks. The figure stands barefooted on a green painted wooden stand that gives the piece an exquisite touch. Many different layers of paint can be found in this extremely well conserved carving form the Guatemalan Highlands.
