Antique, 18th-19th century, gilt wood sculpture of Evangelist, depicting the apostle standing on an integrally carved base, clad in long robes.

DIMENSIONS: Height: 51 cm (20 in.)
 
Please be aware that the second figure of evangelist, which is on the last two pictures is not including in this lot, and it has been put for sale separately.
