Jane's attic holds many singular items under its battered roof; items that, at some point, had a special meaning to the residents of the big, old house. With them, it has become a veritable museum of curiosities.
One of the more remarkable ones is a beautiful statuette of the Virgin Mary. No-one can say how long it has been there, or explain the many dents and cracks it shows. Nor can anyone say why at a certain point it was moved to the attic.
What can be said, though, is that neither the passage of time, nor the sustained 'bruises' have diminished her beauty. Pious and dignified she stands, perhaps protecting the house against some unknown evil...
Thanks for visiting, and see you next time!

Another mysterious piece José that has so much to say. There areaso many unanswered questions about this attic. Even though she must have seen better days, she still stands proudly and looks beautiful. Well done on such a significant piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rebecca, glad you liked it! I try to give the same level of attention to each individual item that goes into the attic.
