Virgin And Child In 18th Century Earthenware

Earthenware Virgin Mary in labor, probably from Nevers. The Virgin Mary in labor 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 two-centimeter diameter hole at the bottom. This hole was used to pour holy water into the statuette, but more importantly, to place a candle that was lit when the woman's labor began.
