Crist de Val

The life-size figure of Christ – probably dating to the early 17th century,  perhaps once part of a roadside shrine – was recovered from the Silvesterscharte on Stevia after being severely damaged during a storm. It was stored in a barn for many years before being discovered by the sculptor Albino Pitscheider, who replaced some missing parts. Unusual features include the construction in larch wood, the unusually long body proportions and the touchingly peaceful facial expression.
