Hand cast in hard gypsum, finished in classic brown. Adsum is 9.5 inches high and weighs 4.5 lbs. (Due to variations in computer monitors, the sculpture color you see on your screen may vary from the actual color.)

Mary with an empty lap can “wait” on a mantel or center of an Advent wreath until Christmas Eve when the infant Jesus might arrive into her arms with a family ceremony.
