Large French vintage plaster or chalkware figure of the Virgin Mary.

Such statues were often given as gifts in France intended to be a "Guardian Angel" for a new born child, Holy Mary being symbolic of security and peace.

Beautiful original paint, which is worn and a little chippy, plus a few small chips to the plaster. All of this makes this statue perfect for home decor, particularly for French Nordic Style / shabby chic / French farmhouse style or it can continue to be used for its intended purpose.

The statue is in good vintage condition, with chips to the plaster - see photos
height 35 cm, width 8 cm, or approx 13.5" x 3"
