18th century Primitive Polychrome Religious hand carved Statue, most likely depicting the Virgin Mary.

In two parts; a two tiered base with remnants of deep red, black and gold paint over the scrolls in bas relief. The upper section has a sphere with three deeply carved angel heads and spread wings to each side under the Virgin which is seen standing in prayer. The Virgin is depicted as a young Virgin with curled and flowing hair and she wears a gilt cape with remnants of deep green, red, yellow, gold and black.



This is entirely carved (deeply carved) by hand and from two blocks of late 17th century wood. Standing tall & straight at approximately 19" and 5" base,. Remains in exceptional condition for its advanced age with normal loss and chips throughout. It is hard to imagine the structure still very sound and with surviving traces of the original gilding and paint.
