About the Item

This hammered and etched glass art sculpture captures the essence of motherhood with delicate artistry. The jagged surface of the hammered glass creates a dynamic play of light and shadow, enhancing the tender carving of the Madonna affectionately clutching the Baby Jesus. The irregular edges of the glass add an organic feel to the work, contrasting with the precision of the engraved details that define the serene faces and protective embrace. The light filtering through the translucent glass gives an ethereal aura to the scene, emphasizing the deep connection between mother and child. This sculpture, designed for display either on a wall or on a flat surface, becomes a symbol of unconditional love and spirituality. The combination of the textural texture of hammered glass with the fineness of engraving makes this work a unique and meaningful piece, capable of evoking feelings of warmth and protection in any setting.
