A serene Christian image, the Nao Jesus Loves You figurine depicts a young boy in an attitude of prayer. He sits on a cloudlike seat and is framed by a delicately rendered halo. Beautifully executed, the sculpture's fine craftsmanship comes from the artistry of Spain's Lladro studios, where it is made from fine porcelain. The piece is also painted by hand for a sure and subtle effect, and the impressive details include tiny stars on the halo and delicate facial features on the boy. A glossy overall glaze adds protection and a soft gleam, and the underside of the piece bears the official Nao stamp. Measuring 4-1/2 inches wide, the sculpture stands approximately 5-3/4 inches high.
