Antique and interesting sculpture from the mid-19th century representing the Sacred Heart of the Child Jesus (height including base cm.75, Jesus alone cm.65): made of lacquered wood with glass eyes, it is complete with its original dress and the embossed silver halo (photo No. 10).

Of Sardinian origin, it is also accompanied by a framed and never opened writing (photo No. 8) that tells of when it was blessed, on November 12, 1880, by His Excellency R.ma Mons. Don Paolo Serci (1827/1900), then Bishop of Ogliastra, later Archbishop of Cagliari. It is in an excellent state of conservation.
