“Beautiful Religious Portrayal”

This is a beautiful portrayal of the Virgin and child. It is smaller than some of the other carvings but remains incredibly beautiful and striking. Words cannot describe how beautiful these works of art are.

“Even More Beautiful in Person”

The Loved Mother is even more beautiful and poignant in person than on the site. Its an iconic image representing both the religious aspect and also motherhood itself. I also have two of the Montalvo Familys secular panels, the village steps and the flower women climbing the hill. They are spectacular. Im proud to say that Ive lent to these artisans on Kiva, may their work continue uninterrupted. I particularly appreciate the icon style, being fond of Byzantine art myself. Thank you!
