  • Figural wooden carving of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Immaculate Conception).
    Carved in folkloric style, this well-preserved statue retains its original coat of polychrome paint. The flesh-tone, light-blue, and silver-gilding vividly shine through a natural patina that has become glossy from a century’s worth of handling.

    The Virgin as the "Immaculata" (conceived in immaculate purity), is posed on the globe of the world, in triumph over sin, represented by the serpent that tempted Eve with a forbidden apple.

    The sculpture's facial features include glass eyes and eyelashes.

    This rare antique sculpture is perfect for a collection of sacred antique items.

    CONDITION: Good, with wear consistent with age and use.
    Minor losses include a portion of one finger, but this does not detract from her overall, well-preserved beauty.
