Height: 15.5 in or 38.75 cm.
A fully realized carved figure of St. Lawrence made during the 18th century. The saint is shown kneeling on an ensaimada (brioche) cloud base. He wears a surplice over a red painted cassock showing his role as a deacon of the church. His right hand may at one time have held his attribute -- a grill on which he was roasted alive. His left hand, extended out and probably also holding something, is also missing. Traces of old inpainting. Significant paint loss and flaking.
Note: I wanted to bid on this item at auction but I overslept and missed out. Big loss for me!!!

I wasn't happy at all with how this turned out, but I've posted it for Sohvimus as it's a natural conclusion of this shot.
It's a beautiful move, and it really needs to be seen in motion to fully appreciate it. It also tops out at 6,500ft so it's only seen in the 'full' display (as opposed to the alternate 'rolling' and 'flat' displays reserved for inclement weather and low cloud base).

I missed a couple of nice days earlier this month to get bright & sunny pics of our village. The forecast for the rest of the month is less than ideal so I settled for Low Vis shot of the village. Cloud base was about 200' above the village when I set out to take the pic, by the time I got to the top of the tip it was starting to dribble & the cloud base was sinking rapidly. Against all the odds, this is the best of the 3 pics I got ;o)

I attended the "Introduction into alpine soaring" course of the Swiss gliding association in Samedan / Engadin this year.
During the first week the weather was difficult to fly with the exception of Friday when a mountain wave let us get up to 5000 m a.m.s.l. with permission of air traffic control. Thank you Skyguide !
The second week was mostly sunshine and good thermals and ridge lift.
I learned to climb slopes and ride the narrow but intense mountain thermals.
Seeing other gliders and avoiding collisions is crucial as they are sometimes difficult to spot. Luckily most gliders are nowadays equipped with the FLARM collision warning system - the little display on top of the instrument panel.

Immaculate Conception / Inmaculada Concepcion / Purisima Concepcion
18th Century
Ivory head and hands mounted on softwood, fully carved (detallado) body.
Hands now missing.
Nose may have been repaired.
Provenance:
Collection of Dr. Porfirio J. and Mrs. Socorro R. Callo
Purchased at auction from Sloan's Auction House of Boston, MA
(Auction tag still present on base of image)
Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Andelson
Exhibited at the Allen Memorial Art Musuem, 9 February 1981
Oberlin College. Oberlin, OH
The Virgin is depicted here as a young woman with her arms bent in the attitude of prayer. The hands, now missing, would have been joined together in front of her torso terminating into a graceful fold. The Virgin's gown crosses her body laterally at the knees, folds gracefully backwards and folds at the Virgin's left elbow.
The image may have been painted at one time consistent with many surviving image of the Purisima. However, all traces of polychromy are now gone.
The Virgin stands on a cloud base surrounded by winged cherubims. The clouds are carved in the archaic "ensaymada" (brioche) style. Holes at each side of the base indicates where the horns of the crescent moon would have been placed now missing. The eponymous "SUKSUK" or tuck found on 17th and 18th century images of the Virgin is present in the back.
