Ivory Sculpture Fragment of Virgin mary
Text
Head of a virgin, surely belonging to a dress processional figure. Preserves traces of polychrome on the eye, eyebrow and lips
Additional Analysis:
It is a colonial ivory, Hispano-Filipino, and can be dated to the seventeenth century by the polychrome of the eyes. The piece is very fine and stands out for its great weight. A very similar one is preserved in the Museum of Avila.

Sensitive Content
Mapping Philippine Material Culture collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards Filipino and Filipino diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Mapping Philippine Material Culture’s views. Mapping Philippine Material Culture maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
