A vintage plaster bust depicting the Sacred Heart of Jesus, produced by Devcraft and designed as a devotional religious figure for home, chapel or church display.
The sculpture portrays Christ with flowing hair and robes, one hand raised in blessing while the other gestures towards the Sacred Heart upon His chest.
The figure is finished in softly coloured naturalistic tones, highlighting the traditional iconography associated with Sacred Heart devotion.

Religious plaster figures such as this were widely displayed throughout the twentieth century within Catholic homes, schools, churches and devotional spaces.
Their enduring popularity stems from both their spiritual significance and their distinctive decorative presence.
The bust format allows the expressive facial features and flowing drapery to take centre stage, creating a striking display piece that works equally well within a religious setting, collection of ecclesiastical artefacts or vintage devotional interior.
