some kind of little statue?

[whitesid]

anyone know around how old this is? i think its pretty old because i found it next to a "Grand Army of the Republic" metal. and the park that it was in was very old too.

Did the GAR medal have a date on it? Usually those are convention pieces...

Is that piece shown flat on the back or a complete little statue?

How tall is it? Is it brass? Is that enough questions?

My initial reaction is it's a Saint holding a child... at least thats what I see. No idea on age though.

the medal just had 1861-1866
it is only 1 inch tall and its a full statue
im not sure what kind of metal it is but its not brass. its a white metal maybe aluminum

There have been several posts on here about little saint's (and Virgin Mary) statues that date back to the Civil War. These have been found in campsites too. This item could be of the same vintage. I'll try to find the post...


gimme a sec...

Yours looks as if it's probably St. Joseph holding the infant Jesus, as shown below.
