Santo Nino, Holy Child Jesus
Mexican, early 19th century.
19.5 inches tall.
Carved wood, then applied gesso, then painted.
Condition is excellent.
This figure originally sat on the forearm of a life sized San Antonio or San Jose figure. The base on this figure is new because somewhere back in time, the host figure was separated from its attribute of the Christ Child.
Such a striking and lovely piece is not easily found, especially is such nice condition.
