Mid-century 1950s hand-carved wood bust depicting the Head of Christ with closed eyes and crown of thorns. Carved from a single block of wood and displaying expressive folk-art character with strong sculptural presence.

The carving style reflects traits associated with Quebec religious carving traditions, particularly the Saint-Jean-Port-Joli school popularized by the Bourgault family of wood sculptors. The rhythmic carving of the hair, simplified facial features, and devotional subject matter fit this tradition, although no artist attribution is present.

The piece retains rich original patina and displays evident hand-work throughout, including visible carving marks and textural variation that give it a strong authentic character.
