    I've had this wonderful,beautiful carving of The Madonna(Mary)baby(Jesus) about 30 years,it has been stored in a tote in my attic,the carving is perfect,long thin fingers,eyes,mouth perfect,I had a friend who was an antique dealer/collector before she passed said it was a rare piece and hold on to it until I could find out something about it,carved into wood at the bottom is the name,Villa Luis,not sure who or place that is,measure 11"x6 1/2",I hope someone can give me some info on the artist or item.

      Have you looked for Luis Villar?
      Sometimes signatures have the surname first.
