A heavy, hand-carved Madonna with Child, made from an exceptionally dense tropical hardwood with a deep reddish-brown sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe depiction is instantly recognizable: Mary with the child close to her. But the execution is much rawer and more powerful than in a classic church statue. The face, hands, cloak, and child have not been smoothed to please, but rather left expressive. As a result, the sculpture acquires an almost primal, powerful presence.\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 38 cm tall and weighing 6.6 kg, this object feels substantial. The wood is hard, heavy, and dense, with dark veining, old shrinkage marks, and a warm patina. In your hand, you immediately notice that this is not a light decorative piece, but a solid sculpture with a presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeautiful as a religious object, but also strong as an art object in an interior. The sculpture represents motherhood, protection, care, and devotion. That is exactly what makes it suitable for a place where an object needs to do more than just fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#8a6a24;font-size:20px;margin-top:26px;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRepresentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eMadonna with Child\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eHeavy tropical hardwood, presumably rosewood\/Dalbergia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e38 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e25 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e6.6 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003eOld signs of use, patina, signs of shrinkage, and minor irregularities consistent with a hand-carved wooden sculpture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57480092254539,"sku":"618","price":875.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/handgesneden-madonna-met-kind-tropisch-hardhout-sculptuur.jpg?v=1780234176","url":"https:\/\/1stbuddha.com\/products\/hand-carved-madonna-with-child-tropical-hardwood-religious-statue","provider":"1stbuddha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
