Description: Probably meant to be a Black Madonna due to the dark wood (Mahogony) it is carved from, this is an exquisite example with a gorgeous shiny Patina on its upper half especially. It came from a private collector in France but is most likely carved in Germany as the style is very popular there (Madonna auf dem mondsichel) The Blessed Virgin Mary wearing a crown (Queen of the World) holds the Infant Jesus in her arms and is stamping on a snake representing her overcoming of original sin. The Baby Jesus holds an orb in his hand. It is carved with medieval type almond eyes and a baroque type head on the infant and flowing cope and gown. It is a very warm statue and imparts this where ever it is displayed. Please see my other items for more religious statues and objects and also for Irish interest. Inquiries and additional photo requests welcome
