Description
“18th Century Earthenware Virgin Mary Mater Dei” This earthenware Virgin is from the 18th century, its authenticity is beyond doubt, probably from Nevers. It bears the inscription “Mater Dei.” The Virgin in Childbirth is a statuette frequently found in homes from the 18th to the 19th century. On the Virgin’s head, there is a hollowed-out crown with a hole two centimeters in diameter at the bottom. Through this hole, holy water could be poured into the bottom of the statuette, but above all, a candle could be placed which was lit when the “labor” of the parturient began. For the condition, note a crack at the bottom of the foot with a lack, a crack on the head, firing defects, the whole remains in an acceptable general condition for an 18th century earthenware object.
