The Servant Christ, Bronze sculpture at Christ House in Adams Morgan, Washington D.C., United States.

The bronze figure of Jesus Christ kneels with hands positioned over a water bowl, wearing contemporary clothing including a sweatshirt and pants.

Jimilu Mason created this sculpture in 1986, which became part of the Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture survey documentation in 1994.

The sculpture connects with Christ House residents through its positioning near a sunroom window, incorporating the daily presence of homeless individuals.

Located at 1717 Columbia Road Northwest, the sculpture functions as a working fountain with water flowing from the bowl into the figure's left hand.

The bronze statue portrays Jesus in modern attire rather than traditional biblical robes, making a connection between historical religious themes and present-day society.
