Risen Christ Figurine Appraisal

ANRI 'Risen Christ' Hand-Carved Wood Figurine

This item is a vintage hand-carved and hand-painted wooden figurine depicting the Risen Christ, manufactured by the renowned Italian studio ANRI. The piece is constructed from alpine maple wood, showcasing the high-quality woodcarving traditions of the Val Gardena region. The figurine stands on an integrated circular base, featuring the iconic elongated, ethereal style associated with mid-to-late 20th-century religious art. The color palette includes off-white or cream-colored robes with gold-leaf accents on the hems, and vibrant orange-red shading on the underside of the billowing cloak. The carving demonstrates refined craftsmanship, particularly in the fluid drapery of the garments and the detailed facial features. A notable marking is visible on the underside of the base, which includes the circular 'ANRI' woodcarver stamp and the copyright symbol followed by 'ANRI ITALY,' a hallmark of authenticity for these collectibles. The condition appears fair to good; there is visible paint wear and scuffing, particularly around the raised edges and the bottom base where the 'ANRI' stamp is slightly obscured. Surface grime and a light patina suggest a vintage age, likely from the 1960s or 1970s. No major structural cracks or repairs are immediately evident from this angle, though the paint finish shows characteristic aging for a handled devotional object.
