A modification of #2003 to include the Christ Child, halos and a base. This item is likely 10 to 11" tall. The design number and assigned name is unknown. It was initially assumed this could have been a prototype never produced but that is unknown. If sold, it was during the mid 1950's. If not produced it may have been due to the abnormal positioning of Mary's left hand. It appears to have been attached backwards.

Here is another Madonna bust holding the child Jesus. The name of this piece is Madonna & Child Bust 6". The sculpture pictured here measures 6 3/4" tall. Made from the early to mid 1950's this is a later example as is evidenced by the halo and absence of any lace or floral adornments. Older editions would likely have no halo, a rose on the base and would be 6" tall.

This transitional item contains several aspects identifying it as a mid to late 1950's sculpture. The name and design number are yet to be learned. The 9" sculpture is decorated with lace and floral adornments. Mary and Jesus both have halos. The base and both halos are trimmed in old coin gold accents. The gold also is applied to the edges of the lace on her sleeves and veil. It is rare to see an item with halos and the Cordey style lace and roses. This piece was likely made with lace, roses and no halos and also made with halos but without the lace and floral accents.
