Description

A wooden image of a lamb holding a banner which symbolizes the glorious ressurection of Jesus. The Lamb of God (Latin: Agnus Dei) is one of the titles given to Jesus in the New Testament and consequently in the Christian tradition. It refers to Jesus' role as a sacrificial lamb atoning for the sins of man in Christian theology. In Pampanga, the tradition of creating an image of a lamb in the form of an image or a cake is done during the commemoration of the Holy Week or Cuaresma.

This item is part of Museo de la Salle’s Santos Joven Panlilio collection which boasts of antique turn-of-the-century furniture and decorative furnishings from family’s ancestral home in Bacolor, Pampanga. Some pieces were collected through the years by art connoisseur, antique collector and interior designer Jose Ma. Ricardo Panlilio, the museum’s founding director.
