{"product_id":"veiled-madonna-and-child-oval-marble-plaque-60cm","title":"Veiled Madonna and Child Oval Marble Plaque - 60cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA veiled Madonna bends over the sleeping Christ Child, both held inside a shaped oval cartouche. A carved ribbon bow sits at the top of the frame and gives the plaque its hanging point visually as well as structurally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWall Sculpture with Its Mineral Inclusions Left In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eScattered ochre and rust-brown mineral inclusions run through the field, along with visible hairline fissures. These are natural markings in the block rather than damage, and they are left exactly where they occur instead of being cut away, which is why no two of these plaques carry the same pattern. The surface runs matte to satin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA devotional plaque of this size suits a bedroom, a hallway niche, a private chapel, a landing or a nursery. It hangs well alone and needs no company on the wall. Keep it at seated or standing eye level rather than high up, because the ochre inclusions and the hairline fissures are half the interest and they only read close to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Shaped Cartouche and a Ribbon Bow\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour weeks. Most of that is the surface: the ochre and rust-brown inclusions are worked around rather than cut away, so the polishing has to follow whatever the block gives rather than a plan. That is also why no two of these carry the same pattern. You set the oval size, and the ribbon bow can be exchanged for a plain moulded crest. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. About 29kg, boxed, hung from one concealed plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther devotional plaques are in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figure-art\"\u003efigure wall art\u003c\/a\u003e, with the compact pieces under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/marble-art\"\u003emarble wall art\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-Carved Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53815772217691,"sku":"MST-REL-031","price":7374.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-REL-031_1.jpg?v=1787053661","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/veiled-madonna-and-child-oval-marble-plaque-60cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
