This is a beautiful vintage devotional statue of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, the beloved Patroness of Louisiana and the Archdiocese of New Orleans. The statue features a stunning, classic depiction of the Blessed Virgin Mary holding the Infant Jesus, who cradles a golden globus cruciger (globe and cross) symbolizing His dominion over the world. The Madonna is elegantly draped in a rich, metallic gold robe and veil with finely sculpted folds, juxtaposed against the delicately hand-painted, soft porcelain-like flesh tones of the faces and hands The bottom of the base still retains its original, authentic gold foil label from the National Votive Shrine of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in New Orleans, Louisiana, confirming this piece was originally acquired directly from the official shrine's gift shop or historical archives. Additionally, the reverse lower rim features an incised "ITALY" mark, denoting its high-quality Italian craftsmanship and lineage.
