Jesus tenderly carries a tiny lamb on his shoulder; the animal nestles close against his body. Alejandro RamÃrez depicts Christ as the Good Shepherd, a metaphor taken from the gospel and prefigured in the Psalms. The image is reverently sculpted in exquisite detail, for RamÃrez's art is an expression of his own faith. Carved of fragrant cedar wood, the figures are adorned with bronze leaf. A metal hook at the back facilitates hanging.
