Our high-relief wall sculpture of Our Lady of Guadalupe seen through the archway between the living and dining areas. The entire piece is approximately eight feet tall and carved out of one slab of solid wood. Like some of our stuff, I bought this off Ermita years ago, before I retired from the U.S. Embassy. The crown and scepter were later, antique finds at Cubao Shoe Expo. I had our jeweler encrust them with faux white sapphires.
This is an atypical rendition because it has God the Father, the Holy Spirit represented by a dove, and eight cherubs. God the Father's right hand is detachable (tita y poni). We did not varnish the wood in any way. It just aged and darkened.
