Eternal Reflections Large Pieta Statue by Matthews International

This is a contemporary religious figurine titled 'Large Pieta Statue,' part of the 'Eternal Reflections' brand collection. The item is constructed from a white, matte-finished material, likely a cold-cast resin or bonded marble compound, designed to emulate the appearance of traditional carved marble. The base is an oval shape and features two circular black felt or rubber protective pads to prevent surface scratching. The bottom displays detailed black printed text identifying it as 'Hand Crafted' and produced by the 'Matthews International Casket Division' in 2019. It carries the specific item number #11006822 and indicates it was made in China. This particular piece is associated with the funeral and memorial industry, often used as a commemorative gift or casket adornment. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips or cracks, though there is some minor surface scuffing and light discoloration visible on the underside near the edge. The craftsmanship is industrial-grade but finished well to mimic high-end liturgical sculpture. The mark also notes 'Patent Pending,' suggesting a proprietary design or material composition belonging to the manufacturer.
