Wonderful Virgin and Child in multicolored and gilded biscuit, Gräfenthal, second half 19th century.

Maria's clothing is richly decorated with floral motifs and gold leaf, which gives the whole a heavenly appearance.
The statue bears the imprinted Gräfenthal mark, used in the second half of the 19th century. It's in good condition.
