Tiny spots of gilding is worn off in a couple of places on the crown. No cracks or orther issues are found. The head is bisque with no chips. Painted is soft muted colors - even a touch of blush on His cheeks. Hands are also bisque. Around His two blessing fingers is gold gilding. The orb is a solid blue and does not have a place for a cross at the top like most other Child of Prague Statues. The tunic is made of a silky cream material with a snap at the back of the neck. The neckline is embelished with lace, silver and light pink sequins and silver cording. He has bishop sleeves offering fullness around His hands. The cuffs have cream lace with silver threading, and more pink and silver sequins. The front of the tunic is framed with wide borders of silver and pink sequins and silver threading. Inside the frame are three large embroidered and beaded symbols: At the top, a silver embroidered Eucharist with faux pearl beads in a startburst design. The middle design is all beaded. It has a Chalice with eucharist above it, doves carrying wheat branches. Ang grapes represented in green and pearl beads. The bottom symbols is a lamb holding a banner with a cross on it--all done in small beads. The cape is a cream colored brocade with silver threading designs. I have it attached with pins. It does have a silver metal chain clasp, but it is broken. It is edged in the matching lace with silver threading. The front panels of the cape are bordered with silver and pink sequins, embroidered silver cording and faux pearl beads. There are a couple of spots with small stains or sewing markings as shown in picture. This statue is magnficent! The vestments are rich in texture and symbol. Please note that I did use tissue paper underneath the tunic to give it some puff for the pictures. Please see pictures for details and condition.
