Αναγέννηση Ιερό - Ξύλο - Μέσα 17ου αιώνα

Miniature Altar with Mother Mary with infant Jezus in Renaissance style.

This altar - used for private devotion - was made in the 17th century and is dated on the base 1657.

Several elements such as the pillars at each side of Mother and child, the square basements of the pillars, the top ormanent in the form of a trapesium, and the 'wings' at the sides point to the renaissance style-period.

The small statue of Mary and the infant Jezus has the original polychromy.

The frame around the statue with a pattern of flowers used to have a golden appearance, but the leather is browned due to aging. The outer frame is decorated with stars.

The upper top ornament and several rosettes are missing.

This altar is made in Flanders or Germany.

ca. 32 x 22 x 10 cm
