Finely carved, the young Virgin Mary stands beside her mother, Saint Anne, who is seated atop a tall throne raised on a foliate pedestal, holding an open book as her mother guides her reading. Both figures dressed in neatly incised robes which pool gently to their feet as they huddle close to each other affectionately, their faces with neatly carved features.

Manufacturing irregularities, minute nicks and small surface scratches, and minor nibbling and tiny losses along the edges mostly to the base. The ivory with a rich, naturally grown, honey-amber patina.

Saint Anne's teaching of her daughter is described in The Golden Legend, a collection of popular stories about the saints. See a folio from an illuminated manuscript painted with the same subject, Master of Sir John Fastolf, about 1430-1440, in the J. Paul Getty Museum, object number 84.ML.723.45v.

Goa came under Portuguese rule in 1510, and subsequently became an eastern trading capital of the Portuguese empire and the seat of Christian imperialism, whose influence stretched from the Cape of Good Hope to the Sea of Japan. The Portuguese found a well-established infrastructure for ivory carving, with experienced artists and workshops. This explains the resulting hybrid of sculptures drawing from European iconography and traditional Indian stylistic conventions.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related ivory carving of St. Anne teaching the Virgin to read, Goa, circa 1700, in the Victoria & Albert Museum, accession number A.34-1940.
