La Virgen del Carmen (Our Lady of Mount Carmel: Child, scapulars, bib, crown; white garments). Wood, gesso, paint. Bald beneath wig, glass eyes, closed mouth; fabric garments; about 5' (150 cm.).

In the same case is a small statue kneeling at the virgin's feet. it is of a full-bearded male dressed in polyester garments. It wears a white veil held on with a round coil such as is depicted in modern Biblical illustrations. It wears a green, collared robe and a long gold wrap in apparent imitation of the robe and mantle of the older, larger statue that stands to the right of the case and which we identify as Saint Joseph. This would make the glass case a niche for the Holy Family.
