| comments/observations | SML-169A "Synthetic wood" version used a process & material called Repron to achieve a wood-like effect. Some figures were also painted in brown to enhance this effect. I was used for a limited number of figurines during the mid-1960's. |
GENERAL INFORMATION. Baston created a set of three Madonnas from the great Madonna paintings of Raphael Sanzio (1483-1620). The Chair Madonna was painted during Raphael's Roman period and now hangs in the Pitti Palace in Florence. Baston cast a few hundred of this Madonna in a hard synthetic wood base.
