About the Item
The carved and painted wooden sculpture depicts the allegory of Wisdom as a young woman standing on top of a low parallelepiped; she wears a long, plastic tunic stopped at the waist by a knotted belt and a drape that falls over her shoulders. Between his torso and left arm he holds a large closed volume, while in his opposite hand he holds a lit torch above his head. The face is turned upward, the hair gathered in a bun above the nape of the neck, from which a flowing lock escapes.
