A large Our Lady of Lourdes statue in coloured resin, 120 cm tall, with gilt details. Its base depicts the spring that rose beneath Bernadette's hand.
At this size it becomes the point one turns towards to pray, in a garden or a room. Shipped from our shops in Lourdes.
One hundred and twenty centimetres is a statue of near-human height: it stands unaided, is seen from a distance, and shapes a space. This is the size for gardens, oratories, community halls and large prayer corners. The Virgin is shown praying the rosary, as she appeared at the Grotto of Massabielle in 1858.
This is the detail that ties the statue to Lourdes rather than to a generic Virgin: the base represents the spring, the one Bernadette cleared from the mud on 25 February 1858 and from which Lourdes water flows. The statue does not merely depict Mary, it recalls the place and the event.
Resin allows a fine casting of the folds, the face and the rosary, at a weight of 11.3 kg that stays manageable at this height. The colours and gilt highlights are applied throughout. [To verify: does this statue withstand frost and UV for permanent outdoor placement, or is it meant for indoors and sheltered outdoor use?]
For a garden or a large room, 120 cm is the one. The full range sits in the Our Lady of Lourdes statue, large statue and outdoor statue categories.
Shipped from our shops in Lourdes, in reinforced packaging.
