A young Jesus figure , he appears to be made of chalkware is he ?
He appears to be chalkware or plaster. Besides the 642, there are no other markings on the figure
Jesus of Prague
here is a photo of your statue . Italy made a lot of these as well as other countries .

Very nice ! Thank You!
Now how do I identify who made it and what the 642 means? I cannot seem to find that at all but found some other sites referring to 642 as 18th century stamping
It is not 18th century they would have used wood in the 1700's . I would say early 1900's and made in Italy . It probably had a paper label on bottom of base just saying made in Italy . Most of these were made for import . The number may drive you crazy as companies that made anything from dolls to statues to figurines ect could have used this number .
Thank you so much! I have many other treasures I found in my grandparents basement that I will be posting ;)
Will look foreward to seeing your treasures when you post them :-))))))
Do you know how to mark a mystery solved so it doesn't confuse what is and isn't Identified ?
I just did! Thank you so much!
