High relief religious carving of eight people in original polychrome paint. We were told that this is entitled "The Souls in Purgatory". With some praying and others reaching up, they all seem to be looking for Gods mercy to keep them out of the fires of hell. For certain, we are sure there's a better story to be told, however,we don't know it. If you do, let us know! Dimensions: 27"H x 65 1/2"W x 11 1/2"D Age: C.1860 Material: Wood
