19th Century Small Wood Religious Polychrome Figure Mounted To Board Santos
Early to Mid 19th C. wood polychrome Santos
The wood Santos is mounted to a board with a screw through the back of the figure. The figure has dark hair with no beard leading to it being a saint and or angel figure. Christ is shown with a beard, along with many saints.
The hand jester at the mouth is typical of religious/ Saint pose. The legs and one arm are applied with and carved separately of the figure. The Santos could very well have had clothing.
The paint is white and appears to be the ground of the pigment.
Size: figure 7 1/2" tall. The board is approx. 11" x 6 1/2"
Condition: The figure has wear to the paint and obvious age marks and wear. No pieces have been replaced by me or my client. Please see the images of the item for more details.
