A Christian statue made of wood which was found by Ilana Goor during her globetrotting depicting a figure of a believer, dressed in pieces of jute and her hands placed as a gesture perhaps in prayer or perhaps a blessing of peace. This statue, as many of the Christian statues, was designed, in the period that it was created, to convey to the believers Christian examples and art. It was also made originally as a ritual object and not as an artistic piece in itself, with the objective of arousing religious identity and enlightening Christianity on its various levels.
