$3,500 USD18th Century Wood Carved Santo
Antiques:Art
ere is a very exciting 18th century carving of who I believe is St. Francis. From my recollection of seeing pictures of St. Francis his hand was always in this position out stretched usually holding a bird or the birds following him as he walked. Under is other arm he has a bible and peeking out from under his robe at the very bottom is a little animal that looks to me to be a deer. I can tell that originally this carving was fully polychrome – there are some remnants of gold gilding, and some ...
