After restoration - Christ Child figure back in Luther's house where he died

After months of restoration, the Christ Child figure, which is part of the repertoire of Martin Luther's house where he died in Eisleben, is back in place. Just in time for Christmas, the approximately 45 centimeter tall lime wood sculpture can once again be admired in the first exhibition room, as the Luther Museums announced on Wednesday. The figure has been cleaned and conserved over the past few months, they said. Centuries-old fragments of paint had also been saved in the process. The Christ Child, who holds a golden globe in his hands, has reportedly been part of the museum's permanent exhibition since 2013.
