Mary and Jesus Figurine Dragée
A wax ornament of the Madonna and Child.
The Virgin Mary gently cradles Jesus, conveying the tenderness and strength of a mother's love for her child.
Jesus' expression suggests contentment in his mother's embrace. The gestures and expressions of both figures evoke warm, fulfilling love and a sense of reassurance.
The soft, flowing movement of the mantle and the intricate details of the fingertips are also exquisite.
Dragée refers to almond confections given out at celebrations such as weddings. In Europe, almonds were considered a symbol of fertility because a single tree produces many nuts. Therefore, these dragées embody meanings such as "happiness, health, fertility, and blessings of children."
This lovely pink Dragée is filled with such happiness. The joyful emotions of Jesus and Mary radiate from it.
