Found on the internet: History of: the Notre-Dame de Montaigu

In 1609, an oak tree of eight feet in diameter, from the for the Montaigu forest in France, was bought to cut boards for building a boat. But instead the tree was cut for logs and from a hollow branch that a small statue was found. The statue of nine inches in height was made of dark grey sandstone. This statue was brought to the village of Foy, Belgium and was named Notre-Dame-de-Foy (Our Lady of Foy).

In 1618, a Sanctuary (Église Notre-Dame-de-Foy, rue des Claviats 4, 5504 Foy-Notre-Dame, Belgique) was built to her devotion because the statue had brought miraculous cures. They sculptured several replica statues of Notre-Dame-de-Foy from the same oak tree. These replica statues measured about six inches in height. And three of these statues were sent to New France.
Father Pierre Marie Joseph Chaumonot had received one the replica statues in 1669 and later built and dedicated the chapel to Notre-Dame-de-Foy at the Huron Mission in Québec. Father Chaumonot wrote that cures were attributed to the statue of Notre-Dame-de-Foy. Later, the statue was burnt in the burning of the chapel.

In 1675, Father Jacques Bruyas had received a replica of the statue, for Saint Mary’s Chapel in Tionnontoguen. And he had written that the unbelievers told him, from the time Mary’s image is in their village, which they are without fear and have received very evident marks of her protection.

In 1672, a replica statue was sent to Marguerite Bourgeoys of the Congregation of Notre-Dame at Ville Marie (Montréal), for the Notre-Dame Chapel

The thing about Offers and Counter offers.

In case you are thinking about making an offer on this piece please consider this:

Like in most antique stores I can sometimes go to about 10% in giving discounts on items that linger longer on Ebay.

My position as dealer is very compatible I have to keep my prices low as possible. There is not that much room for negotiation.

I list hundreds of items every month. Most of them sell pretty quick usually within a 3 month period. But, I don't know if it will sell.

I often have the “make offer” button placed in the listings, so I do not have to go back every time a listing lingers longer on eBay than usual. It simply is too much work to have to reverse those items.

If I can't honor your offer, please think about this and don't be offended. Just try again, keeping this in mind.
