🔴 Madonna Miracoli wax model with angels and flower ornaments in an antique case, 1915

A masterpiece of sacred art: the Madonna dei Miracoli with Child, modeled entirely by hand in artisanal wax in 1915 by the nuns of Erice, Sicily, Italy, a fabulous devotional work of art rich in detail, entirely handmade.

The scene is kept in a wooden case with a gilded frame and original glass on four sides, allowing one to admire the refinement of the details.

Next to the crowned Madonna, winged angels emerge in flight, finely sculpted in wax, holding devotional scrolls dated 1915. The entire ensemble is embellished with a rich display of floral ornaments also in wax, including branches, flowers and leaves that create a natural frame around the central figure.

A rare and evocative work, where spirituality meets the most delicate Sicilian artisan tradition.
