Ottawa Jesus by Steven Lalioff


It's black ash burl with moose antler halo of thorns. Birchbark loin cloth. Antique forged nails set in with antique red sealing wax. The head is articulated and pose-able with a rod of lead I hammered from a musket ball. All of the extremities are stuck together with canoe pitch. It can be totally disassembled. It is colored with only smoke. The base is made from 12#'s of solid copper. ( a pound for every Apostle) I made the base in a circa 1910 Arts & Crafts style ala Roycroft. It is easily detached from the base and can be hung. It's 24" tall total including the base.
