Virgin Trampling The Serpent - Eighteenth

The drapery of our Virgin is impressive in its suppleness, its finesse and its rich decoration in bright colors.
Instead of the traditional blue coat, do we have here numerous and precise patterns on a gold background.
Full of wisdom on the globe, not only terrestrial, but celestial (here a half-sphere covered with stars representing the universe in its totality), open hands, she dominates and protects the whole of the created world, from Temptation .
The Virgin, crushing the serpent, in triumph. "I have given you the power to walk on serpents and all the power of the enemy".

We read in the Gospel of Luke. A sweet representation of the yet difficult battle of good over evil.

In carved wood and in the round, this statute has made the verses happy, and not only those of the poet.... T
he piece is now stabilized.
Note some chips on the base, clothing and on the headdress.

Dimensions of 84 cm high by 40 wide and 20 deep
