A wonderfully atmospheric 18th century carved wooden bishop sculpture, displaying exceptional age, character, and devotional craftsmanship.

The figure is depicted wearing traditional ecclesiastical robes and mitre, with a deeply carved flowing beard and solemn expression that gives the piece a strong sense of presence.

The sculpture retains traces of its original surface finish and aged patination throughout, adding to its authentic antique appeal.

Wear, losses, and surface ageing are entirely in keeping with its age and contribute beautifully to the rustic religious aesthetic.

Likely once part of a larger church or devotional display, this piece now makes a striking standalone object for collectors of religious antiques, ecclesiastical art, folk carvings, or gothic interiors.
