Santos

19th Century Hand Carved Italian Santos Processional Figure

A hand carved figure of a 19th century Santos figure, with glass eyes and metal wire adjustable arms firmly in place, the arms are removable also. Stood on its original pine base this figure would once have been dressed in regalia and a long cloak or dress. With hand painted detail and remnants of gesso still visible. A lovely authentic example which is highly sculptural and decorative in our humble opinion.
