About the Item

This finely crafted carved wooden figure from around 1800 showcases exceptional artistry and detail. The seated figure, dressed in its original white garment, exudes a gentle, childlike presence with soft facial features. Given its posture and expression, it may represent a youthful depiction of Jesus, possibly part of a larger Marian sculpture, sitting on the Virgin Mary’s lap. Preserved in its original condition, the figure retains its authentic polychrome finish, a testament to its historical integrity. The craftsmanship is evident in the delicately sculpted hands, feet, and the finely detailed curls of the head, all reflecting the skill of an accomplished artisan. This unique piece not only holds religious and artistic significance but also serves as a rare example of early 19th-century devotional art. It would make a meaningful addition to any collection of antique religious sculptures or historical artifacts
