Captive Christ of candlestick, with the head and hands in polychrome resin, dressed in luxurious cloth clothes in different colours, with decorations of golden thread. On an upholstered wooden base with gilded moulded sides.
Christ dressed in a candlestick, so called because the three pieces are assembled in a wooden candlestick, a kind of truncated cone structure on which the head sits and which allows a certain articulation of the hands, as can be seen in the figure on the right. In a second stage, the work is completed by dressing the image, usually with luxurious clothing.
