Description
This is an signed old vintage Santos carving hand carved by artist Louie Mares of New Mexico.A wonderful hand carved and hand painted serene image of a Monk or Saint carrying chopped wood and a water bottle, with outstretched hands. Carved from native wood found near Mares' home in Abiquiu, New Mexico, this inspired piece was created by one of the few remaining Santeros. The Santeros, or "Saint makers," devoted their lives to a spiritual path of devotion to God and His helpers on earth. In return, they were given a steadiness and artistry to depict the saints and angels. This old Santos measures 12.25 inches tall and 9 inches wide.
