The Holy Child, crib figure, polycrome terracotta, Naples, end of XVIII century.

The neapolitan crib figures' characteristics are their heavily realistic pose and attitude, highlighted both by the moulding and by their polychromy.
Restorations: at the neck and around the hole on the nape, where the aureole was placed.
Age: end of XVIII century.
