Hand-Carved Olive Wood Contemporary Virgin Mary Sculpture

This Virgin Mary takes a more contemporary approach. The form is slender and elongated, smooth lines suggesting her silhouette rather than detailing it, with hands gently clasped and a simple head covering. At 5.5 inches tall, it has a quiet, upright presence that works well on a shelf, desk, or home altar.

Carved from a single piece of olive wood in Jordan, the grain does a lot of the work here. Deep chocolate-brown veins run through honey-colored tones in the dramatic marbled pattern olive wood is known for. Every piece comes out different because of it.

To preserve the natural oils and luster, occasionally wipe with a soft cloth and a small drop of olive oil. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture.

Hand-carved in Jordan by artisans using olive wood harvested from pruned branches of ancient trees, making each piece a one-of-a-kind work of religious folk art.
