19th C. Mexican Painted Wood Santo - Francis of Assisi

Item Details

Description

Latin America, Mexico, ca. mid to late 19th century CE. An antique wooden santo figure, hand carved and hand painted, depicting a Christian saint dressed in voluminous white and dark blue/black robes, standing or perhaps floating upon a near-hemispheric volume (representing an orb symbolic of the universe). Both of his removable hands are missing, an unfortunate fate all too common for older Santos. Given his hairstyle, it is possible that this Santo represents Saint Francis of Assisi, one of the most popular saints in the Catholic canon, known for his love of animals and nature and his miraculous acts. A wonderful work of Mexican folk art. Size: 12.5" H (31.8 cm)

Provenance: Ex - Collection of Deacon K. Giacone
