Rare and beautiful antique statuette of Our Lady of La Salette, dating to the mid 20th century. She came to me from a cleanout of a local Catholic school. Our Lady of La Salette is a Marian apparition reported by two children in La Salette-Fallavaux, France, in 1846: The children saw a beautiful woman sitting with her face in her hands, weeping. She told a secret to each child, walked up a hill, and vanished.

The statue is made of gilded spelter. She was so well kept, she still looks shiny and new. I have one just like this in my collection, but she’s all faded from age! Refer to photos for size and condition.
