About the Item

Mid size, finest quality carved alabaster Madonna sculpture on a marble base. If you are a collector of antique and finest quality religious artefacts then this hand carved Virgin Mary could be gracing your home or house of prayer soon. Judging from the style and material we felt that this solid alabaster sculpture from circa 1920 was made in Italy. The Italian sculptor's name on the back confirmed that. Since Virgin Mary sculptures of alabster and of this design and age hardly ever come onto the market, this most certainly is a rare antique. But what makes this sculpture really stand out and what makes it truly desirable is the quality of the carving and the realistic yet serene manner in which the artist managed to capture Mary's pain. The perfectly carved folded hands and the details of her fingers and even her finger nails too reveal the quality of the workmanship of this clearly skilled Italian sculptor. The quality and facial expression really do justice to the holiness of Mary. Only a true artisan and master carver is capable of creating such grace and finesse out of a stone-like material. Thanks to its durability this alabaster sculpture of Mary (on a marble base) can be enjoyed by you and your loved ones for the rest of your lives and by generations after you. This also makes a great gift for a devout friend / loved one.
