Beautifully Aged, Serene Antique Carved Santos with Colorful Base pre-columbian effigy pot There are four small pads

There are four small pads on the bottom

I'd love to see a whole bunch of these hung together from the ceiling to form a sort of cloud

And the painterly bands of white to either side of it

Cubes 1 1/8" cubed

Perhaps the perfect sort of talisman for one looking for a lover

Beautifully Aged, Serene Antique Carved Santos with Colorful Base pre-columbian effigy pot There are four small padsSuch a tall and gentle, serene feeling one, perhaps representing St. Francis, my favorite saint of all, but I'm not entirely certain. With a wonderfully carved face, the wood softened in the best way over the years, and perfect craquelure to the polychrome. The head was carved as a separate piece, and can be pulled out as the arms were somewhere along the way. The nicely colorful painted base is part of the carving, not a separate piece. 12 1 2" t. 3
