Surely the guy has just removed the nail from Christ's hand/foot? ... Or maybe he's a dentist.... Either way the facial expression is priceless.

Yes that's it, he is removing the nails from Christs body.

I found another Terracotta group of life-size figures, this time near to home in Reggio. They are in a little church in the centre of town that only opens for Mass. So I crept in at the end of the service and had about five minutes to do some pictures. The group is made up from the remains of several groups, in fact John appears twice. The figures date from the fifteenth century and are probably by at least three of artists, including Mazzoni, one of the most famous terracotta artists. They were crudely repainted in the nineteenth century. The Christ figure comes from Tuscany and was added in the nineteen fifties.
Well photographed!
You have a knack of finding these things and the background story to go with themMaybe this one was a dentist ? :-)

Going to my Accountant is far more painful.
Quite pretty that.
Not bad but not one of your best IMHO.

I prefer this to the earlier shot.
Really like this one.
