Exceedingly Rare 1957 20" 28 lb Alva Studios Horned Moses With Horns 10 Commandments Michelangelo Museum Sculpture Statue Jewish This exceeding rare statue of Moses is 65 years old. It is in very good condition with minor flaws. Paint has been professionally retouched on one horn where it had flaked off. It is a very early Alva Studios piece. I am unsure what it is made of exactly but it is referred to as being made of "Alva Stone". It is very very heavy The depiction of a horned Moses stems from the description of Moses' face as "cornuta" ("horned") in the Latin Vulgate translation of the passage found at Exodus chapter 34, specifically verses 29, 30 & 35, in which Moses returns to the people after receiving the commandments for the second time.
