Colonial Houses in Antigua had a large collection of Religious Images as decorative items. The piece is “undressed” because the owner would have dressed the image according to his taste; most of the times with robes. Notice the carefully carved ears, nose and lips; beautiful brown glass eyes highlighted by eyelashes and blushing cheeks give the piece a lovely expression. A superb silver crown and silver earrings decorate her head. The piece has articulated joints in order to present different positions and gestures. The figure sits on a wooden stand, called “bastidor”. The fingers of both hands are complete, a rare condition in such an old piece.
