Inside the old Spanish Church of Lama de Arcos, there is this classic iconography of the baby Jesus.
Look at the size of it, I put a pen next to it and his head rests on a matchbox.
He is with minimalist clothes and without halo.
I do not know how to define the material, but it looks like fiberglass.

"The Christ Child—also known as Baby Jesus, Infant Jesus, Child Jesus, Divine Child, Divine Infant and the Holy Child—refers to Jesus Christ during his early years. The term encompasses a period of Jesus' life, described in the canonical Gospels, encompassing his nativity in Bethlehem, the visit of the Magi, and his presentation at the Temple in Jerusalem. It also includes his childhood, culminating in the event where his parents find him in the Temple at age 12, after which the Gospels remain silent about his life until the start of his ministry."
