An Extraordinary Antique Italian Hand Votive On A Stand, Late 1700’s

This is a truly extraordinary and extremely rare treasure that was discovered in Florence, Italy. It consists of a magnificent hand carved and partially gilded female hand votive with a ring and a gold bullion tassel that is placed on a stunning stand [also hand carved wood and partially gilded in addition to white and blue paint]. This is a remarkable treasure that is outstanding in its captivating sculptural quality as well as highly decorative appeal. It dates from the late 18th century or the early 1800’s and it is in lovely antique condition with minor signs of ageing that in my opinion only bring forth its true beauty and splendour today. The small finger was broken in the past and put back together at some later stage. It is exactly as I discovered it. For the full condition please refer to the images!
