Description
Images of the Black Madonna became popular in Europe in Medieval times. Their origins are often shrouded in myth and mystery, and they are usually associated with miraculous events.
Their intentionally dark colouring may simply be intended to give a more accurate representation of a Middle Eastern woman, but there are many more esoteric explanations. The popularity of the image has been linked to the writings of Bernard of Clairvaux, the Knights Templar, various Gnostic groups, and the Cathars.
It is possible that the ideas associated with the Black Madonna are even more ancient and they can be traced back to various Pagan goddesses. Her dark colour may be an echo of prehistoric sculptures carved from black meteorite.
The Black Madonna is approximately 10½ inches (27cm) tall and weighs approximately 1.4 kg.
Your Black Madonna is one of 488 and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

You will have noted that those to whom a sight of that shining whiteness had been vouchsafed by chance, or rather, perhaps, by apparent chance, were required to blindfold themselves on their second approach. That is very significant.Arthur Machen - The White Pe...

The Venus of Willendorf was unearthed in Austria in 1908. She was carved by an unknown artist some time between 24,000 and 22,000 years ago. Her original purpose and meaning may never be known, but millennia later her power to move us has not diminished. This is my tribute to what remains one of the greatest works of art of all time.Venus is approximately 9 inches (23cm) tall and weighs approximately 500g.Your Venus is one of 345 and comes with it's own certificate of authenticity.
