Old Huamanga Stone Madonna and Christ Child

A beautiful crowned Virgen with the Christ Niño is represented in this early 20th c. huamanga, or alabaster carving from South America. The Madonna is carved with a typical South American folk quality seen in Andean representations of the Virgen. The stone has been lightly painted in areas and the base beautifully incized. There is expected wear to this sweet carving, otherwise a wonderful portrayal of this Madonna and Child out of a traditional carving medium from South America - a small treasure!

Measurements: 3 1/2" high
