Restoration of a little sculpture of Saint Isidoro


This small wooden sculpture arrived into the atelier broken into several parts, the head was detached and in two and the eyes in  glass paste was removed luckily without breaking. 
In addition, as you can see from the pictures the head is not wood but is modeled in stucco plaster and connected to the body by a wodden pin. 
The difficulty has been to rebuild the site for the left eye and at the same time to paste the head. In the other photo you see the final result.
