18th C, Southern France, Madonna and Child, Carved and Polychrome Wood

Like many 18th-century Madonna statues...

He is represented with horns on top of his head. The horns came about because of an ambiguity of the Latin version of Exodus 34, 30. After being addressed by God on top of Mount Sinai and given the Tablets of the Law containing the Ten Commandments, Moses descended to his people in the desert. His face was seen to shine with a divine light.
