This 18th century polychrome virgin & child wall sculpture is a finely handcarved example of baroque sacred art from Austria, dating to around 1760. The figure is made from a solid piece of basswood and vividly depicts the blessed Virgin Mary holding her child.

It was once part of a chapel’s decorative ensemble in lower Austria, making it an exceptional religious artifact. The back includes a small ring for hanging, maintaining its functional and display authenticity. This piece stands out as a rare, impressive religious wall sculpture from the mid-18th century in remarkable condition, representing historic craftsmanship and devotional artwork.
