@365karly1 These figurines usually come from Mexican or South American churches. Often, they were carved by local indians that were taught how to create art from the Spanish Missionaries. A lot of these statues date from the 1500's-1700's. This one is a particularly good example, as it doesn't look as 'cheesy' as some of the other ones tend to.

Makes me think of a mix of Jeanne D'arc and a figurehead.

I like how she seems trapped in the cage of glass. A wonderful composition. Fav.
