Wood carving "Christ by the Pillar"

Wood carving "Christ by the Pillar"

This sculpture is likely a wood-carved version of the "Christ by the Pillar", also often referred to as the "Son of Worry" or "Christ on Cold Stone". This sculpture depicts Jesus tied to a pillar (or sitting on a stone) after being whipped and before being crucified. He usually wore a crown of thorns and had his hands tied before him, with an expression of pain or contemplation, awaiting execution. This is a devotional theme common in Christian art, which aims to elicit strong empathy and emotional resonance from the viewer by depicting the physical pain and vulnerability of Christ.
