This elegant, Mid-Century Modern inspired figurine depicts the Madonna and Child in a highly stylized, elongated form, likely carved from alabaster or a similar soft stone. The piece draws heavily from the Art Deco and Liturgical Movement aesthetics of the mid-20th century, characterized by minimalist vertical lines, a circular halo, and serene, simplified facial features. Historically, this "slimline" style became popular in European (particularly Italian and French) devotional art between the 1940s and 1960s, moving away from ornate realism toward a more ethereal, symbolic representation of divinity. The item is in good vintage condition, showing a natural aged patina and some surface scuffing consistent with age; there is a visible hairline fracture on the reverse of the halo and minor wear around the base, but the structural integrity remains intact.
