1. Design & Features:
- Crafted in Italy, this statue captures the solemn authority and wisdom of the biblical figure, depicted with intricate details in his flowing beard, robes, and facial features.
- The figure is portrayed in a seated position, with a realistic representation of the robes cascading down his lap.
- The off-white statue is made from a lightweight composite material, allowing for detailed craftsmanship while maintaining durability.

2. Historical Significance:
- The depiction of Moses with horns is based on a mistranslation in the Latin Vulgate Bible, where ‘rays of light’ were misinterpreted as ‘horns.’
- This tradition influenced many later representations of Moses, including this statue, making it a unique piece of religious art history.
