Chalkware Devotional Statue, Candle Holder, & Holy Water Font (c.1920-1945) Designed for display near the entrance of a home or place of worship, this devotional statue brings together Christianity's most iconic figures: the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. They symbolize divine compassion, sacrifice, and maternal devotion. At the center, an angel and cross are above the font itself, where holy water would traditionally be placed for those entering or leaving the home. The additional holder below suggests space for a small devotional candle, or incense creating a quiet household shrine for prayer and reflection.
