Ferdiš Kostka (1878 - 1951) CHRIST SEATED

A remarkable ceramic statue depicting Jesus Christ in the iconography of "Ecce Homo", seated with his hands tied with a rope, a reed in his hand and a crown of thorns on his head. The figure is dressed in a red cloak with subtle glazing and coloured details, placed on a pedestal with stylised decoration. It is the work of Ferdiš Kostka, an important folk potter and figurative ceramist, whose work and technique was a continuation of the famous Haban ceramics. Signed and marked on the bottom.
