Biblical Figurine Appraisal

The Last Supper Figurine

This item is a detailed figurine depicting 'The Last Supper' scene from Christian theology. It is crafted from what appears to be a cold-cast resin or painted ceramic material, given its matte finish and the visible textures. The overall color palette is muted and earthy, employing various shades of brown, beige, green, blue, and terracotta for the robes and skin tones of the figures. Jesus, centrally located, is identifiable by his slightly more prominent position and distinct robe colors, possibly a blue and maroon or reddish-brown combination. The twelve apostles are seated around a rectangular table, which is draped with a tablecloth featuring subtle white, green, and brown patterns. On the table, small, round dishes, possibly plates or bowls, and some elongated bread-like forms are visible. Each figure is individually sculpted with noticeable facial features and drapery in their clothing, indicating a moderate level of detail and craftsmanship. The base of the sculpture is a rectangular platform, suggesting stability and allowing the piece to stand freely. There's a decorative border around the edge of the base, possibly in a terracotta or reddish-brown hue with a repeating geometric pattern. The figures themselves show no obvious signs of significant damage such as chips, cracks, or repairs, maintaining good overall condition from what is visible. The paint application appears consistent, without major flaking or fading. The style suggests a commemorative or decorative item, likely produced in the 20th or 21st century. It is a mass-produced piece, but with sufficient detail to render the scene recognizable and emotionally evocative.
