RELIGIOUS
Religion is often described as a communal system for the coherence of belief focusing on a system of thought, unseen being, person, or object that is considered sacred, divine, or of the highest truth. The Christian religion is centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God.
Christianity has played a prominent role in shaping Western civilization since the 4th century. Currently Christianity has between 1.5 billion and 2.1 billion followers, representing about a quarter to a third of the world?s population. With more than 1 billion members, the Roman Catholic Church is the largest church representing over half of all Christians and one sixth of the world?s population.

Condition:
AVERAGE
In overall average condition. Antique and vintage items by their very nature are used items and will show signs of normal wear due to age and use. As we define 'average condition' relative the stated age of the piece, we would expect to see quite a few 'character marks' consistent with that age and could include significant nicks or dings to a wooden or metal object, significant wear to a painted surface, speckling on a mirror, crazing or manufacturer?s glaze skips in ceramic finish, significant wear to a label, and original decorative trim may be missing. If ceramic/porcelain restoration has been done, it is of museum-quality so that it is hardly discernable and would be mentioned in the listing. Average condition may also include chips or cracks, which may or may not be noted in the listing.
Item Specifics:
Shows normal wear to finish and miscellaneous scratches, nicks, and dings due to age and use. Jesus' hand and the Madonna's foot is broken. There has been a repair to the base.

CERAMIC
The word ceramics originates from the ancient Greek word keramikos, meaning potter?s clay. The practice of making ceramics has been in existence for nearly 30,000 years. Clay, the primary ingredient for any ceramic, is primarily made of aluminum silicate, which is a malleable soil from crumbling rocks. Ceramics can be grouped according to the type of clay used, the temperature at which the clay is fired, and the duration of the firing.
