Our Lady of Aparecida Statue 9.1 in — Antique Silver Metal on Wood Base

This Our Lady of Aparecida statue stands 9.1 in tall on a wood base, cast in metal with an antique-silver finish. The crowned Madonna holds her hands in prayer beneath a tall cross-topped crown, wrapped in a wide mantle worked with hearts, flowers, and a fringed hem, a small cherub at her feet. The oxidized silver settles into the relief and brings out the detail.

At nearly a pound and a half it has the presence for a main home altar, a mantel, or an entryway table, and the dark wood base carries an engraved 'Nossa S. Aparecida' nameplate with a small Brazilian flag — a fitting gift for a Brazilian-American household, a wedding, or a housewarming.
