Description
Panel crafted from different kinds of marble. The figure of Moses cut in white marble with flowing hair and raised index finger, his left hand pointing to two Tablets of the Law raised against the black background. These tablets finely engraved with the Ten Commandments in Reformist-Calvinist version (evident from the lack of images, which were prohibited by Calvinist rules). Small losses and restorations in places, crack on the right side of the panel. Metal frame on the reverse. Dimensions 68 x 86 cm. Attention: Self-collection or get a shipping quote prior to bidding! The decalogue panel offered here most probably comes from a French Huguenot church.Provenance: Originally from a collection in Paris, currently part of a collection in Munich.
