Vtg Hand Carved Wood Moses Rabbi Statue Signed Lipe Hebrew Jewish Judaica 15"

This is a highly collectible mid-century vintage hand-carved solid wood statue depicting a Jewish man in deep prayer (historically referenced as Prophet Moses / Moshe). The sculpture retains beautiful and precise religious iconography, featuring the chiseled Tefillin (phylactery box) on his forehead and a long, cascading Tallit (prayer shawl) enveloping his figure.

Most importantly, the lower reverse side of the base features an authentic, hand-carved signature in Hebrew: "ליפע" (Lipe), a traditional Ashkenazi / Yiddish name, certifying this as a verified artisan-signed piece from a mid-20th-century Jewish woodcarver. Sculpted from a single block of heavy hardwood weighing 6.5 lbs, this piece boasts a gorgeous aged patina, intricate drapery, and a serene countenance. A prime choice for collectors of signed Judaica, biblical sculpture, and authentic religious folk art.
