A very nice quality Tudor period ,carved oak figure of the madonna .
This item which dates to circa 16th century AD, is a rare survivor of the period.
Typically the pegged hands are missing, as the people attending church would steal them as a blessed holy relic to bring good luck and fortune.
Lovely colour and patination to the wood...
Size 29.0 CM in Height.
EX. Suffolk collection 1970-1980.
As with all of my antiquities this item comes with a certificate of authenticity.
