| This beautiful Italian statue is carved from wood. The statue has a very distinctive aged ivory color. The wood grain shows through in some places here and there. There is original gold leaf that remains in both the hair and in the wrap around the child's body. There is also some red pigment on the lips and brown and gold in the eyes. As with many such statues, there is some slight damage in a few areas. Both hands have been damaged long ago and are shown in detail in the pictures. The right hand has a split in the wood. There is a split that runs down the face as well. This is also shown in close up detail in the pictures. There are some wood worm holes in the legs and the left arm. These are not obvious except on the back. The base was applied at a later date than the statue, but is still very old. The base measures 3 inches tall and has a diameter of 9 inches. The statue (including the base) sits 28 inches tall. | ||
