Moses by Michelangelo Recreation about 9 1/2 inches tall by 3 1/2 inches wide by 3 1/2 inches deep. Very famous statue of Moses by Michelangelo. Great display piece! The original is in the Church of San Pietro in Rome. "The depiction of a horned Moses stems from the description of Moses' face as "cornuta" ("horned") in the Latin Vulgate translation of the passage from Exodus in which Moses returns to the people after receiving the commandments for the second time. This was Jerome's effort to faithfully translate the difficult, original Hebrew Masoretic text, which uses the term, karan (based on the root, keren, which often means "horn"); the term is now interpreted to mean "shining" or "emitting rays" (somewhat like a horn)."
