“Beautiful wood carving of a mother and child”

Beautiful Mother & child carved wood sculpture. Well made, touching, carved wood sculpture . I collect nativities, and plan to add this to my collection, to represent the Blessed Mother & child Jesus in Ghana design.

“A cherished ornament”

I bought this as representative of my mom holding me, her only child. She had passes away a couple of years before. I have it on my coffee table, the first thing seen as you enter my home. The wood is so beautiful and the colors so nice, they were inspiration for wall colors and accent pieces. I polish it with Liquid Gold wood spray (aeresol, not bottled which is messy) and helps preserve the wood. I love my piece??
