This delicate Madonna figurine in terracotta, featuring garments shaped in papier-mâché, is a charming example of traditional devotional art. It is ideal for collectors and for anyone wishing to enrich their space with a sacred object of antique character. The figure displays a composed posture and a gentle expression, enhanced by its original polychromy.
The terracotta and papier-mâché show age‑consistent wear, such as small paint losses, light cracks, and abrasions, all visible in the photographs. The tears present on the papier-mâché have been stabilized with glue — a light conservation intervention that prevents further damage and preserves the original structure of the garments. These details give the figurine an authentic patina. The base, also marked by time, further testifies to the long history of the piece and reinforces its artisanal charm.
Note: measurements are indicative and may vary slightly depending on the point of reference.
The figurine can also be purchased together with the San Giuseppe figurine; in case of a combined purchase, we can offer discounted shipping rates. For an accurate and convenient quote, please contact us directly.
