Virgin Sculpture – 01

Sculpture of the Virgin with child made by hand in the mountains of Peru with a mass of rice, potatoes and chuño. It is inspired by the colonial culture, where the Catholic culture and the Andean ancestral beliefs converge, very inspired by nature. This confluence can be appreciated in some features such as in babies, which in many cases resemble chrysalis, or in the triangular shape of the virgin (narrow at the top and wide at the base), mountain type, which alludes to the ” pachamama” or mother earth.

This figure of the Virgin is molded by hand, each piece is unique in its design and painting. It is decorated with a red background and has flowers and details in blue, yellow and ecru pink. The figure has a round and stable base that allows it to be placed on any surface.

We have framed this sculpture in a box-style frame, 4cm deep, measuring 27x27cm. We have chosen as a background a handmade woven loom made of sheep wool dyed with natural pigments.

Its dimensions are 18cm wide and 16cm high.
