This earthenware Virgin Mary is 18th century, its authenticity is beyond doubt, probably from Nevers. It bears the inscription "Mater Dei."
The Virgin in Childbirth is a statuette frequently found in homes from the 18th to 19th centuries. On the Virgin's head, there is a hollowed-out crown with a two-centimeter diameter hole at the bottom. Through this hole, holy water could be poured into the statuette, but more importantly, a candle could be placed, which was lit when the woman's "labor" began.
Regarding the condition, note a crack at the bottom of the foot with a missing part, a fissure on the head, and firing defects. The overall condition remains acceptable for an 18th-century earthenware object.
