This carving of a human figure was found in the Bishop’s garden in Gloucester around 150 years ago.
The figure is of Jesus. We can tell that because there are rays of sunshine around the figures head, which means it is a special type of halo called a cruciform. This type of halo is only used for representations of Jesus.
The figure is believed to be around 1000 years old.
Gosh that is really amazing.
It was a total surprise to me
How come the figure is faceless?
There was a faceless statue in Budapest too.
Worn away over the years?
