Reference: ZF1540

Saint Sebastian. Carved wood. Possibly Spanish school, 18th century. It has faults. Figurative carving in wood depicting a semi-nude youth tied to a tree with ropes carved from the same material, resting on a base resembling ground or stones. Saint Sebastian of Milan was a military tribune in the Roman army, executed during the persecution of Diocletian by flogging to death after surviving an initial punishment in which he was tied to a post and shot with arrows (iconographically, the post became a tree, and the holes where the arrows would have been are clearly visible in the carving).
