Item Details
Description
Shipping from Austin, TX. Dimensions: 15 x 4.5 in Religious figure, possibly St. Maria Goretti, who was devoted to her family and accepted being stabbed rather than submit to being raped. The weathered look, along with the visible layers of paint and gilt, suggests significant age, often seen in figures from the 18th and 19th centuries. Statues from this period were typically carved in wood and adorned with polychrome paint and gilding to highlight certain attributes and to signify holiness and reverence.
