Devotional carving is the oldest use of the relief, and it is still the one buyers respond to most strongly: these pieces are given at baptisms, confirmations, weddings and funerals, hung in churches and home altars, and rarely negotiated on price. The collection covers the Last Supper in several compositions, the life and Passion of Christ, the Sacred Heart, the Virgin Mary, the saints, crosses and angels, in styles from Byzantine flatness to full Renaissance depth.
Faces are the hard part of a religious relief, so every face here is sculpted at full depth with the eyes, lips and hands cleanly defined, and every file is tested at 300 mm with a 1/32 inch finishing cutter. Carve them in cherry, walnut or basswood, print them for a home shrine, or engrave them in grayscale on a laser. The finishing guide covers the dark glaze that gives these pieces their depth, and the selling guide explains why devotional work commands the highest prices in this craft.
