Grenoble Archaeological Museum | Madonna & Child


The excavations at Saint-Laurent recovered substantial portions of a smashed terracotta statue of a Madonna and child. In archaeological terms, it’s not particularly old, only dating to around 1860 to 1880, but I’m simply taken by the post-excavation dedication to carefully putting as much as possible back together.
