Hispano-Flemish, 16th century

Overall the condition of the wood is good. There is wear and some dirt consistent with age and some minor, stable splitting and worming to the surface consistent with age and material. There are some minor losses to the lower edge due to the worming. The orb and part of the proper left hand of God were varved seperately and attached, the joint is slightly loose. Three fingers of the proper right hand and the cross surmounting the orb are lost. There are two drilled holes for mounting to the shoulders.
