A finely carved wooden devotional figure dating from around 1900, depicting a serene female saint or Madonna holding the Christ Child.

Beautifully executed with gentle facial features and flowing drapery, the sculpture retains traces of its original polychrome decoration and painted finish, now attractively worn through age, lending it an authentic and characterful patina.

Standing an impressive 126 cm high, this substantial ecclesiastical carving would originally have formed part of a church, chapel or private devotional setting. The weathered surface, remnants of historic paint and honest age-related wear all contribute to its decorative appeal and sense of history.
