The figure is made of wood with a distressed, polychrome (multi-colored) paint surface, giving it an aged patina.

It is missing both hands, a common condition in these antique pieces.

Santos figures were historically used for religious devotion and as decorative objects.

This particular style is often associated with 18th or 19th-century craftsmanship from regions like Mexico or the Philippines

The Santos is 9“ tall with the figure and stand together being 10 7/8”
