Among the Romanesque Madonnas, Our Lady of Mariazell is one of the most popular. This Madonna is represented without the typical "Our Lady" dress, as can be admired in the Basilica of Mariazell (Austria) on just two special days a year.
A replica of Our Lady of Mariazell from our production was donated to the Holy Father, John Paul II at Christmas 1994 (see picture above).
Another famous model is Our Lady with Child (Art. 0173), where one should notice the very natural position of the Baby Jesus and the
loving look of Our Lady, elements that both underline the clarity and harmony of this perfect image.
