Palm Sunday Christ
Cuilapan, Oaxaca,
Mexico
Palm
Sunday Christ
(Donkey;
white robe, purple cape).
Hollow construction; carved hair, painted eyes; fabric
garments;
donkey's
mane and tail are real; leather harness; approximately
4½ feet
tall.
The material seems to be the same as the Resurrected Christ
standing
beside
it, possibly corn- or cane-paste though the features are more
standard
and the statue does not seem to be the work of the same
artist. Neither
hand is visible beneath the sleeves. The face and the mount
have been
repainted.
