Late-baroque sculpture in rounded bulk and naturalistic language representing the Child Jesus as "Salvator Mundi", an iconography that alludes to the Christological concept of Jesus Christ as universal savior, in relation to his role as judge in the Final Judgment and his character of Redeemer. It is characterized by presenting Christ holding an orb with one hand, while with the other he usually makes the sign of blessing. In this sculpture both hands have been lost, but as is usual in the iconography it embodies, Christ originally held an orb in one hand while with the other he made the sign of blessing.
