- Lot Description
Latin America, Mexico, ca. early to mid-19th century CE. A fine wooden statue of a saint, probably St. Francis of Assisi, hand-carved from hard wood with a gentle posture. The saint stands in a flowing robe with a knotted belt around his slender waist and holds both arms outwards with absent hands. An ovoid hood rests at his shoulders and frames his sensitive countenance of downturned eyes, a narrow nose, pursed lips, petite ears, and a well-groomed beard. His tonsure-style coiffure wraps around the sides and back of his head and terminates in a small disconnected patch of hair in the front. Traces of pigmentation around his collar and face as well as a small drilled hole atop his head suggest this figure was once adorned in bright colors and additional ornamentation. A small mortise beneath the figure allows for mounting, and layers of lustrous brown patina cover most of this well-defined saint. Size: 4" W x 10.725" H (10.2 cm x 27.2 cm).
