This is a carved red and gold figure of Jesus on the Cross with a rockwork base.The Catholic icons illustrate how religious images were probably adapted from imported prototypes and produced locally, sometimes in a style that embodied traditional Vietnamese features. The Catholic icons are typical of the types worshipped in churches or in family shrines in the home during the 18th century and onwards.
