It’s in very good condition and has rustic charm. A small piece of wood is missing on the left wrist (See photo) and her hand has to be firmly reattached with glue. There is a tiny black hole in front of skirt below navel, and the back of cape near her neck (See photos). The Virgin seems carved from one piece of solid wood. The black markings on her face and skirt were painted by Aviles. He also used red paint to fill in the lineal grooves he carved on her skirt. He did not carve Baby Jesus for this Santo. Since it was an early work, Aviles’ recollection is that it’s made of cedar and could be “La Virgin de la Monserrate” although Baby Jesus is not included. Will send additional photos upon request. Statue is 7 3/4 in H (including base) X 3 in Wide X 1 3/4 in Deep. This item is in the category “Art\Art Sculptures”. The seller is “latinoart” and is located in this country: US.
