    Antique Wooden Virgin Mary Statue

    Vietnam
    Late 19th-Early 20th century
    Height: 29 cm

     
    Polychrome statue of the Virgin Mary hand carved and painted in blue and white. She is mounted on a polychrome wooden base. Her face is serene with a loving expression. Her hands are extended in a welcoming pose.
     
    The Catholic religion came to Vietnam during the period of French colonization. There are about 7 million Catholics in Vietnam, representing 7.0% of the total population. There are 27 dioceses (including three archdioceses) with 2,228 parishes and 2,668 priests. The main liturgical rites employed in Vietnam are those of the Latin Church.
     
    This piece came from a Catholic church and is possibly from Bien Hoa which is just outside of Ho chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) and a place where there are still several Catholic churches.
     
    If there is interest, I will provide other details/information available prior to purchase.
