Spanish school; c. 1940-1950. "Moses". Terracotta. It presents faults and losses. It has inscription on the base. Measurements: 25 x 10 x 7 cm. Round sculpture of devotional character representing Moses. The Scriptures tell that the prophet Moses freed his people from slavery, making them wander through the desert. During the journey in the Sinai Peninsula, rumors arose among Moses' people that it would have been better to remain under the yoke of the Egyptians. Moses then performed countless miracles to appease the hardship of the journey and to demonstrate to the Israelites that Yahweh was guiding them. Thus, to feed them Yahweh rained down manna from heaven, and to quench their thirst Moses struck a rock with his staff, assuring them that water would come forth. When it was slow to come forth and he struck a second time, Yahweh was angry at his lack of faith and punished him. Ultimately Moses went up to Mount Sinai, where he received the tablets of the law, imposed by God. These tablets contained the commandments, although in this scene it can be seen that they are empty. Fouls and losses.
