In good condition
elaborate lace and gold colored cape
marking reads Columbia Statuary, Inc.
marking on base has the copyright symbol 1966
Ebay prices for Infants of Prague range from
about $60-$700.

How much is this Infant of Prague worth?
Is this a rare statue?
Are there jewels or rubies on the crown?

I'm told this is a statue not a doll. There is no statue category. I placed
the Infant of Prague in the doll category because there isn't a closer
option.

    Made in Italy very hard to see your photo's . I would surely say no on real gemstones on this prague .They were mass produced . What color he is wearing has a meaning by Catholic dress . Very nice . It is hard to see what he is made of from small photo . Chalkware or something else ?

    Thank you Manikan! I'm not sure what the Infant of Prague is made of.

    Good to see you're on the website. I'll take pictures of the other doll's face and markings.

    ok I will watch for them . I know I could not answer exact on your doll but they were noted to use chalkware on your Prague .

    i am pretty sure this is el nino jesus the praga( baby jesus of prague) look it up on google. it is from the catholic religion. the dress varies. the constant is what he is holding and his open hand. the only other one it can be is la virgen de fatima (virgen of fatima) but i am pretty sure it is the first. hope this helps.

    i double checked with my mon and it is santo nino de praga (infant saint of prague)
