Offered by: Masterpiece Antiques

Description
Exceptionally beautiful, polychromed figural baroque wall sculpture from the period around 1760 in Austria. By showing real craftsmanship, this fantastic looking, sacred wall sculpture was artfully hand carved out of a solid piece of basswood and depicts the blessed virgin Mary with her child. A really impressive, large example of sacred art, which was part of an old chapel in lower Austria. The outstanding coloration covered with this charming, very old patina, finalizes this incredible version of a famous "virgin & child" depiction. On the backside you will find a small ring for wall mounting. A remarkable, one of a kind baroque wall figurine/ sculpture from the mid 18th century in Austria. Definitely an item you won´t be able to purchase everyday.
