Mary on throne with child Jesus
Description
The Council of Trent gave the mandate for veneration of the Virgin Mary; therefore leading to a demand for large number of Mary statues in Europe and Portuguese India. Countless ivory images of Mary arrived in Lisbon, the European entry port for products from the Orient; created in the Portuguese territories, usually based on 17th century European models copied from prints.
