Description
New World, Spanish Colonial, Mexico, ca. 17th century CE. A striking limestone sculpture depicting the bust of a bearded man, perhaps a saint, such as Saint Francis, or a Franciscan missionary. The stoic individual stares forwards from heavy-lidded, almond-shaped eyes below an arched brow and above a round nose, closed lips, and a lengthy beard. Dressed in a hooded robe, the intriguing figure displays tonsured hair, indicating that he is likely a cleric or monastic, as long locks flow from the sides of his head and fall over the tops of his petite ears. Size: 8.375" W x 11.25" H (21.3 cm x 28.6 cm); 15.5" H (39.4 cm) on included custom stand.
