Madonna statue
Virgin Mary figure
A Madonna statue is a sculptural representation of Mary, the mother of Jesus, typically depicting her in poses of prayer, blessing, or holding the infant Christ.
These figures appear in Catholic churches, gardens, and homes as devotional objects.
The classic lawn Madonna—often in a half-shell grotto—became iconic in mid-20th-century American Catholic neighborhoods: Every yard on the block had a Madonna statue.
