The worn surface, pitted, even ragged in areas, possibly a result of remorseless dripping of rain, through a ravaged roof of an Abbey or Church, has created an almost ‘ghost’ like appearance to this very serene figure. The gaze emitting a feeling of tranquility, peacefulness and calm. Certainly a sculpture which one could spend time in admiration to contemplate both the Virgin Mary and her Son, Jesus.
