The exquisite carving depicts the Madonna standing and dressed with very richly decorated ropes.

The Immaculate Conception is a Roman Catholic dogma declaring that the Virgin Mary was preserved free from original sin from the first moment of her conception in Saint Anne's womb. Proclaimed by Pope Pius IX in 1854, this singular grace was granted by God in anticipation of her role as the mother of Jesus. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eMost probably this sculpture was part of a bigger composition or an altar, and actually stand in a modern removable wood base.
