This is a 3/4 life-sized cast bronze of a risen Lazarus by Haverford, Pa. sculptor Christopher Cairns. It currently sits on slate stones that are not original to the piece. The piece was obtained from the artist in the mid to late 1980's by my Mother (a Bryn Mawr professor, Phyllis Pray Bober) who was a good friend. It exhibits the expected patina from decades of outdoor placement but is in good condition with no losses.
