Madonna “Mother of Hope” – Hand-Carved Wooden Statue from South Tyrol

The Madonna “Mother of Hope” is a wooden figure of Mary carrying the Child Jesus in her arms. Mary stands upright on a small base, a long veil falls over her hair and shoulders, and the Child nestles against her. The hand-painted version shows her in pink and blue with a golden cloak lining.

“Mother of Hope” is the title the workshop gives this figure; it does not appear as a Marian title in its own right in the sources we checked, so we do not interpret it. In the Christian faith, Mary is the Mother of Jesus, and many believers turn to her in worry and confidence. Here she holds the Child firmly in her arms – an image of loving care.

• Heights: 12 cm, 25 cm, 33 cm, 50 cm
• Finishes: Natural (finely sanded, untreated wood) or hand-painted (oil colours, gold leaf and silver leaf details, lacquered)
• Wood: wood from the Gardena Valley – mainly lime wood, depending on size also maple or Swiss stone pine

For a christening or the birth of a child, the Madonna with Child is a fitting gift, as it is for Mother's Day or for an expectant mother. She has her place in a Marian corner or on the windowsill of a chapel. You will find more figures of Mary in the Madonna collection.

The Mother of Hope is hand-carved in Val Gardena, and no face is like the next. You will wait approx. 4–5 weeks for the figure; she travels insured via UPS from our warehouse in Flieden and is delivered to all delivery countries (€6.90). Every piece is blessed by a Catholic priest in our warehouse in Flieden and comes with a certificate card showing the date of the blessing.
