Unique Hand Carved Walnut Wood Sculpture Madonna & Child Hodegetria 24" Bulgaria

Masterpiece of Eastern European Sacred Art: Hand-Carved Solid Walnut Relief
Elevate your collection or sacred space with this extraordinary, one-of-a-kind wood carving of the Madonna Hodegetria ("She who shows the Way").

Crafted by master artisans in Bulgaria and imported by the renowned Italian house Mondo Artigiano, this piece is not just art—it is a spiritual heritage hand-carved into a massive slab of prime European Walnut.

WHY THIS PIECE IS UNIQUE:
Exquisite Craftsmanship: Unlike mass-produced items, this is a High-Relief (Alto Rilievo) sculpture. The depth of the carving creates a dramatic interplay of light and shadow, especially on the "stepped" background design.

Natural "Live Edge" Beauty: The artist preserved the natural, rugged silhouette of the tree trunk, creating a stunning contrast between the raw bark edges and the smooth, detailed figure of the Virgin Mary.

Premium Walnut Wood: Known for its durability and rich, warm tones, the walnut grain is beautifully visible on the reverse side, proving the authenticity of the solid wood slab.

Certified Authenticity: The back features the original Italian "Certificate of Guarantee", documenting its Bulgarian origin, the specific wood type (Walnut), and its status as a unique "Esemplare Unico."

SPECIFICATIONS:
Dimensions: Approx. 23.6" Height x 19.3" Width (60 x 49 cm).

Thickness: Massive solid wood slab (approx. 2-3 inches deep).

Ready to Display: Features a pre-drilled hanging point on the back.

CONDITION:
Museum-quality vintage condition. The wood has aged beautifully with no cracks to the central figures. The natural imperfections in the "live edge" are intentional and part of the rustic, organic aesthetic.


Packaging: This heavy, solid wood piece will be double-boxed and secured with premium padding to ensure safe arrival.
