A two-piece ivory set of St. Anne and St. Joachim, the grandparents of Jesus Christ. Probably part of a larger tableau of the Holy Family which would have included Mary, Joseph and the Christ child. The images are beautifully carved and gilded. The gold gilding have rubbed off over time exposing the copper colored bole underneath. Similar gilding and polychromy techniques can be found in many examples of ivory images made in the Philippines. Height: 22 cm or 8 in. including base.
