This stunning marble sculpture vividly captures baby Jesus standing tall, his right arm outstretched in a powerful benediction gesture. Typically, this iconic hand movement showcases his first two fingers and thumb extended, while his third and fourth fingers remain closed, making it one of Christ's most recurring hand gestures in Christian art history. Originating as a symbol of blessing in early Christianity and Byzantine art, this gesture continued to be used extensively throughout the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance period.
