Hand-carved from solid wood and finished in warm polychrome paint, this Japanese sculpture captures a tender scene of a seated mother nursing her child. The expression is gentle, the posture grounded, and the whole piece carries a reassuring heft that lets you know it was made to last. A genuinely heavy, characterful object at nearly half a metre tall, full of folk-art soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe carving is wonderfully tactile, with flowing lines incised into the red bodice and the green sarong, the natural skin tones of the figures kept soft and matte. It is decorative and expressive in equal measure, a sculpture that tells a universal story without saying a word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Collectors Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mother-and-child figure is a natural focal point and loves company that shares its hand-carved, devotional spirit.
