Amazing Crafmanship!
This is a Vintage mid 20th century (1952) handcarved wood statue of a sitting Madonna and Child signed by the artist M.K. Kaslatter. This piece is from the estate of the late Gordon Ingham Atwater – the renowned petroleum pioneer who was an expert in oil and gas reserves in the United States. Original ANRI label is still attached to the bottom of the base and the artist signature is carved at the back of the base. Since this is a handcarved figure and i have owned a few of these pieces, this one has the best carving features i have seen. The Anri company is founded by Anton Riffeser in 1912 in Val Gardena, South Tyrol, Northern Italy. Condition is SUPERB!
DIMENSIONS: There are three known sizes made of this piece (5", 6", 7" high). This one is the 7" high X 4.63" wide X 3.75" deep. Weight is 10.7 oz.
