Child Jesus on the globe – Indo-Portuguese ivory sculpture – GOA - 18th century – CITES NO EXPORT OUTSIDE THE EU. Rare religious sculpture representing the Child Jesus standing on the Earth globe, Indo-Portuguese work from the 18th century. The Child Jesus, carved in ivory, is depicted nude, standing in a blessing or majestic pose. His face with soft features, finely incised hair, and the characteristic proportions place it within the tradition of Christian ivories produced in territories under Portuguese influence. It rests on an ancient, polychromed terrestrial globe, itself carried by a large carved and polychromed wooden base, with a lively vegetal decoration. The ensemble retains a beautiful old patina as well as significant traces of its original polychromy, particularly visible on the globe and the pedestal. The iconography of the Child Jesus on the world expresses the universal sovereignty of Christ and is a theme particularly developed in Indo-Portuguese Christian art. Indo-Portuguese, XVIIIe siècle. Ivory, carved and polychromed wood. Old condition with slight wear and losses of polychromy, small damages and ancient restorations visible.
