Silver and ivory Virgin Mary and Child

Virgin Mary and Child in sculpted silver and ivory. She is standing upright, wearing a dress, a cloak, and a crown, and is carrying the Infant in her left arm. The faces of the Virgin and Child are thoughtful and very intricately sculpted. The group is set on a hexagonal base decorated with figures of saints that are set under Gothic arches and an openwork frieze. The base rests on the backs of six small lions.

Silver mark: Swan (imported silver). Probably Nothern Europe craftsmanship from the 19th century.
