Miniature “Pietà” Figurine – Likely Resin or Alabaster Reproduction, Mid-20th Century

Small hand-cast reproduction of Michelangelo’s “Pietà,” depicting the Virgin Mary holding the body of Christ after the Crucifixion. Crafted in ivory-toned resin or molded alabaster, this piece was likely produced in Italy or Japan between the 1950s and 1970s for the devotional or souvenir market.

The original marble Pietà resides in St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City, and this scaled replica captures the same draped folds and serene expression.
