About the sculpture
This statuette is made in the 16th century in Germany by an unknown artist.
The statuette represents a nude standing figure of the Infant Christ, with a rosary round his neck and an orb in his left hand. The figure stands on a square base decorated with scrolls.
It is made of pipeclay, which is a fine white clay used to make tobacco pipes and pottery. Conveniently situated on a major trading route, Siegburg was a centre of ceramic production with well-organised workshops and kilns in which also pipe-clay figures were fired.
