#STATEURPG.REL1.    Wonderful Hand Carved Religious French Statue from the turn of the last Century.  These were taken out of a attic from a Church in France where I bought them at and was told they were hand carved and never completed--being never hand painted which one can do themselves or have someone do for them.  I bought these and a few more religious pieces from this same sale I went to while in France.  It would be amazing if one had talent to paint them the colours needed to match their rooms or place one were to use this in.  It is heavy and solid and made very well and it is detailed with all the carvings of folds in his clothing and detailed in his face features as well.  Its amazing how one has talent to do such carvings and have the opportunity to paint one of these yourself.  It would be a great project for winter months also or coming home from a hard days work to relax and paint something of value.  If one does not care to paint him then one can easily place antique silk clothing on him. One can make him into a fine tall lamp or perhaps a tall candle holder being he stand and is tall and would really enhance any room you choose to place him inside.
