About the Item

19th Century Spanish Colonial wood and polychromed hand carved figure of a Santos or possibly Jesus. The practice of creating Santos figures began in Spain and they usually wore ornate religious clothing. Today, Santos remains a folk art in several countries including Mexico, Philippines and Vietnam. Figure’s eyes and lips remain painted, as well as some scattered remnants of the original gesso and polychrome. Nicely aged patina over the whole. Presented on a large round wooden base representing the world.
