"Madonna Pensosa" (Pensive Madonna) ivory alabaster collector plate/wall plaque. Handcrafted in Tuscany, Italy by Studio Dante di Volteradici and sculpted by Maestro Ado Santini as part of the "Madonne Viventi" limited series.
Includes:
- Original 1978 Studio Dante di Volteradici Alabaster Plate
- Original brass authentication plate with built-in hanging ring
- Original fitted styrofoam housing and outer shipping box
- Hand-marked paper insert certificate ("Ado Santini Fatto A Mano")
Condition Notes:
- Alabaster Plate: Excellent vintage condition. Free of any chips, cracks, or repairs
- Back Brass Plate: The adhesive bond on the reverse brass identification plate has dried over time, so the brass plate is currently detached/loose from the back. It fits cleanly back into place and can easily be re-adhered with epoxy or left as-is inside the box. All brass lettering and the hanging wire remain intact.
- Original Packaging: Box shows typical vintage storage wear and tape edge reinforcing, but remains structurally solid and protects the piece well.
