A carved ivory figure of Christ as the good shepherd - Indo-Portuguese, Goa, 18th Century; ; Goa was the capital of the Portuguese State of India (Estado Português da Índia, EPI), the Portuguese Overseas Empire. This popular compositional type of carved ivory statuette depicting the Good Shepherd was apparently invented in Goa (west coast of India), a Jesuit training center for missionaries. At the bottom, Christ's follower Mary Magdalene reads scriptures in a mountain cave, where, according to legend, she retired in later life. Above is a fountain of life (suggestive of baptism) with doves and lambs, and at the top is the meditative figure of the Christ Child sitting with a lamb. 19 cm, 7 31/64 in high overall, weight 280 gr. Item condition grading: **** good. Ce.S.Ar. Certificate of Antiquity

This lot contains ivory/coral/ tortoiseshell. Due to recent changes in the laws of many countries (e.g. US, France) -  about endangered species including but not limited to coral, ivory and tortoiseshell -  BFA recommends that buyers check with their own government regarding any importation requirements prior to placing a bid. For example, US regulations restrict the import of elephant ivory and prohibit the import of African elephant ivory. Please note that BFAs will not assist buyers with the shipment of this lot into the US. A  buyer's inability to export or import these lots cannot justify a delay in payment or sale cancellation
