Description

Virgen de Guadalupe Statue — Mexican Folk Art, 19”

Hand-carved and painted wooden statue of the Virgen de Guadalupe, Mexico’s most venerated Marian figure and a powerful symbol of faith and cultural identity. The Virgin is shown in prayer, draped in her signature emerald-green mantle adorned with gilt stars, and a rose-toned gown with delicate hand-painted detailing. She stands upon a crescent moon supported by a cherub, surrounded by removable gilded rays that symbolize divine light.

This piece reflects the rustic elegance of Mexican folk craftsmanship, likely from the mid- to late-20th century. Its polychrome surface and gilded highlights evoke traditional santos made for home altars and devotional spaces. A striking representation of the Virgen de Guadalupe—an enduring icon of devotion and artistry.


Condition

Good condition, rustic by design, with light surface wear and minor irregularities that enhance its folk-art character. The removable rays are intact and secure; no cracks or repairs noted.
