Description:
A Spanish Colonial Carved and Polychrome Figure of the Madonna of the Birds, 18th c., height 42 1/2 in., width 17 in., depth 10 1/2 in.
- Notes: Note: Birds were sacred to the Inca, partially because of their ability to fly and move close to the Sun God. The importance of birds in Inca culture led Colonial artisans to incorporating birds and feathers into images of the Virgin and Christ to indicate divine status.
