The surface shows a wonderfully authentic patina—layers of aged paint, natural wear, and areas of exposed wood that speak to generations of devotional use.

The figure stands on a stepped base with remnants of green and dark pigments. The form and carving style suggest Spanish Colonial or Latin American folk-religious origins. Both arms show losses, and the top of the crown has age-related wear, all consistent with the piece’s age and history.

A soulful and expressive decorative object—perfect for collectors of santos, primitive carvings, and rustic antique artifacts. This piece displays beautifully on shelves, consoles, or incorporated into a curated vignette.
