Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

New World, Mexico, Spanish Colonial style, ca. 19th century CE. A hand-carved wooden santo depicting the Virgin Mary, with the remains of textiles and pigment on the wooden surface. She has glass eyes (one remaining) and looks down towards the viewer, her arms raised, probably once clasped in prayer. The remains of intricate carving around her chest and hair are still present. Size: 4.95" W x 8.95" H (12.6 cm x 22.7 cm); 10.45" H (26.5 cm) on included custom stand.

Santos played an important role in bringing the Catholic Church to the New World with the Spanish colonists. These religious figures were hand-carved and often furnished with crowns, jewels, and other accessories, usually funded by religious devotees, and were used as icons to explain the major figures - Mary, Christ, and the saints - to new, indigenous converts. Likewise, they served as a connection to the Old World for Spanish colonists far from home. They became a folk art tradition in the Spanish New World, from modern day Guatemala to as far north as New Mexico and Colorado. Many of them were lovingly cared for over the years, with repairs and paint added as they aged, and played an active part for a long time in the religious life of their communities.
