This is an exquisitely detailed HOT CASTED sculpture of the German born artist, Franz Ignaz Gunther's greek god of Time or also known as the Grim Reaper or Chronos.
Father Time is usually depicted as an elderly bearded man, dressed in a robe, carrying a scythe and an hourglass or other timekeeping device (representing time's constant movement).
Ignaz Gunther first studied at the Vienna Academy before moving to Munich in 1754. He prospered as a woodcarver, producing work that combined Rococo style with spirituality. From 1759 to 1762, he furnished the entire church at Rott-am-Inn, which stands as his greatest achievement.
