The design features deep, rhythmic vertical carving to the hair and beard, which contrasts with the smooth, polished facial features that showcase the natural swirling grain of the olive wood. The underside of the base bears a yellow adhesive label with the transcription: HCEF, Holy Land Gifts, 301-871-9222, and www.hcef.org.
