The style, which spread in the 14th century, is sometimes referred to as “court style.” Sculpture with traces of polychromy, damage and traces of surface erosion. Made of sandstone, it was originally most likely part of a full-figure representation. It most likely had a sacred function.

Brahma, marble, India, 19th century.
A marble sculpture depicting Brahma, the Hindu god of creation, associated with knowledge, wisdom, and the act of creating the world, who is part of the Trimurti trinity alongside Vishnu and Shiva. The deity is depicted in a seated position with crossed legs on a high pedestal. The depiction deviates from the classical iconographic scheme of Caturmukha (four faces), showing Brahma with six faces: five arranged in a fan-like pattern in an arc around the central face, and the sixth located at the back of the head. The multitude of faces emphasizes the deity’s omniscience and omnipresence. Brahma is depicted with four arms, in accordance with classical iconography. The lower pair rests on his knees; in one hand, the deity holds a sphere interpreted as a symbol of the world or the cosmos, and in the other, a rosary (akṣamālā), symbolizing knowledge, meditation, and the passage of time. The upper pair of hands, raised at the sides of the head, holds attributes whose identification is difficult due to the schematic nature of the sculpture. The figure is set against a background of an arched frame with a pointed arch. At the base of the composition, an image of a bird has been carved, likely a hamsa (sacred goose or swan), Brahma’s traditional mount. The whole is characterized by a compact, frontal composition and restrained modeling.

Christ Salvator Mundi, polychrome wood, Poland, 19th century.
Wooden sculpture depicting Christ as Salvator Mundi (Savior of the World), made in Poland in the 19th century. An example of folk Baroque sculpture, combining a religious theme with a simple, legible form. The full-plastic, frontal figure shows a young Jesus in a gesture of blessing, with a globe in his left hand.
The figure is dressed in a white tunic and blue coat with yellow piping. Remnants of the original polychrome and natural traces of use are visible. The simplified modeling, linear folds and expressive face indicate a folk workshop from southern Poland, representing the late Baroque tradition of devotional sculpture.
Deity or bodhisattva, marble, India, 19th century.
The sculpture depicts a seated figure, shown in a meditative pose and a gesture of prayer. The figure sits on a simple pedestal, with her hands folded at chest level. Her head is crowned with a diadem. The whole is characterized by a compact body, synthetic, schematic form and highly simplified details, which gives the work an austere character. The structure of the sculpture is compact - the spaces between the arms and torso and under the line of the legs have not been fully openworked, but left in a solid mass of stone. Due to this schematic form and the lack of unambiguous attributes, the identification of the figure remains uncertain. It may be a simplified representation of a Buddha, bodhisattva (a being striving for enlightenment in the Buddhist tradition) or other Hindu deity, shown in a state of meditation/prayer.

Gallo-Roman male portrait head, marble, Roman Empire, Province of Gaul (area of modern France), 1st-3rd century after Chr.
A unique example of provincial stone sculpture from the heyday of the Roman Empire. Executed in white marble, the head depicts an individualized male portrait, a textbook example of the fusion of official Roman realism with local Gallic artistic expression. The face is characterized by a crude, geometric synthesis of form. A long, straight nose connects directly to a well-defined, severe eyebrow arch (the so-called Greco-Roman profile), giving the whole a monumental expression. The large, almond-shaped, convex eyes have no cut eyelids or pupils, which firmly places the object in post-Celtic sculptural traditions and the local votive art. The sculpture directly alludes to austere, hieratic representations of deities and heroes from the Celtic tradition.
The object is set on a contemporary metal arbor and pedestal of gray veined marble.
Dimensions: 15 cm (height) x 6 cm (width) x 8.5 cm (depth); with pedestal: 19 cm (height) x 7 cm (width) x 8.5 cm (depth)

Head of an Angel (Putta), gilded linden wood, Poland, 1st half of the 18th century.
Baroque carving depicting the head of a winged angel (putto). The object, dated to the first half of the 18th century, is an excellent example of ancient sacred woodcarving. The styling of the "puckered" face, the deeply carved, almost graphic curls and the way the wings are worked out are very similar to the works of prominent Silesian sculptors, such as Johann Georg Urbansky and the workshop of Matthäus Knote. The sculpture is slightly curved, which means that it was designed to be mounted on a rounded structure, such as an altar column, cornice or the curve of an organ prospectus. The number "6" engraved on the back is a typical mounting mark. This confirms that the angel was part of a large, multi-element work, at which craftsmen numbered the parts to know where to mount them. A sculpture of high workshop qualities, dated 1720-1740, it represents the North Central European Baroque trend, showing features characteristic of the borderlands of Silesia and Malopolska. Preserved in original condition. Visible natural patina of time, losses of wood on the wings and paint layer and gilding, which add to the sculpture's character and confirm its age. The wood is sound, with traces of old woodcarving tools visible.
Krishna, marble, India, 19th century.
A marble sculpture depicting Krishna in the form of Venu-Gopala, the divine shepherd playing the flute. The figure of the deity is depicted in the classical Indian canon of beauty known as Tribhanga (the triple bend of the body). The lines of the hips, chest, and neck form a dynamic, S-shaped curve. Krishna stands with his legs crossed at the ankles, resting his weight on his left foot while his right foot rests on its toes, which lends the composition a sense of lightness and grace. The hands are raised in front of the torso and were originally positioned to hold a flute. The deity’s face has a serene expression, with a gentle smile and almond-shaped eyes typical of traditional Indian iconography. The head is crowned with a tall crown adorned with a peacock feather motif (Mayur Pankh), one of Krishna’s most important attributes. The figure is dressed in a dhoti with schematically rendered folds. Two long, decorative garlands hang around the neck, one reaching the hips and the other the knees. These may represent a simplified depiction of the vaijayantimāli—a long floral garland traditionally associated with Vishnu and his avatar Krishna. The back of the figure is rendered in a more simplified manner, indicating that the object was intended to be placed directly against the altar wall or in a wall niche.

Rama, marble, India, 19th century.
A sculpture depicting Rama, one of the most important deities of Hinduism, considered the seventh avatar of Vishnu. The object was hand-carved in white marble in India, probably in the 19th century.
The figure is depicted standing, facing forward. The face has a gentle expression with a soft smile and slightly closed eyes. The head is crowned with a decorative crown, and long necklaces are visible on the chest.
The figure is dressed in a draped robe with clearly marked folds. On its back is a quiver with arrows, characteristic of Rama's depictions.
The hands of the sculpture are not preserved, originally in one of them the figure held a bow - a characteristic element of representations of this deity. Further about these cavities do not write that they are consistent.
Rama is the hero of the epic Ramayana and in the Hindu tradition symbolizes righteousness and fidelity to the principle of dharma. His images occupy an important place in Indian sacred art, although full-figure marble sculptures of this scale are less common.
The object is preserved in good condition, with clear legibility of form and detail.
