Religious objects - Wood - 1920-1930 - Polychrome image of Mary

Beautiful antique wooden religious statue, completely hand-carved, polychromed and partly gilded. The statue depicts a holy woman, most likely Mary Magdalene, recognizable by the ointment jar she holds with both hands, a classic attribute in Christian iconography.
The statue is rendered in a sober yet expressive style, with careful attention to the face, the folds of the garment, and the refined details in the hands and jewelry. The colors and gilding are softly aged, giving the object a warm, authentic appearance.
Probably manufactured in the early 20th century, possibly originating from southern Germany, Austria or France, where this type of folk-religious sculpture was produced in large quantities for home devotion or small chapels. In good, authentic condition for its age. Normal signs of aging. No noticeable cracks visible. Any minor wear contributes to its character. See photos for a full impression. Decorative and collectible. Suitable for lovers of religious art, antique statues, or interiors with character. Beautiful size for placement in a display cabinet, on a console, or on an altar. Will be shipped very well packaged.
