The Christ Child, dressed as a pilgrim, was said to have visited, bringing bread in a basket and water in a gourd. This statue shows the Christ child, clothed as a pilgrim, with a gourd and basket. He wears a scallop shell, a symbol of a holy pilgrimage. The small statue, perfect for teaching a lesson or displaying in your home, stands 3-1/4 inchs tall and is made of resin.
