Good Mother - Size #2 / Elite

This santon from Provence represents the famous Bonne Mère de Marseille, a miniature reproduction of the golden statue of Notre-Dame de la Garde, perched at the top of the basilica which watches over the city.

This exclusive model, designed by Ateliers Marcel Carbonel, is a nod to the renovation of the monumental statue which took place in 2025, a strong symbol of the attachment of the people of Marseille to their protector.

Depicted crowned, holding the baby Jesus in her arms, the Good Mother embodies faith, tenderness and popular protection invoked for centuries by the inhabitants of the coast.

This handcrafted santon in matte gold color fits perfectly into a traditional nativity scene or Provençal decoration , bringing a sacred and symbolic dimension, typically from Marseille.

Size #2 / Elite (the 2-3/4 inch - 7 cm size) Coming in 2025 in Size #1 and #3.

Made in France
