This VERY EARLY SANTO CROWN has the most intricate cut metal work imaginable. Has various sizes of cut glass with 4 bezels on each glass. There is only 1 cut glass which is not present. There is 1 scroll of the crown which is unattached but you cannot tell this unless you slightly pull away from the top ball adornment. Other than that, there are some minor bends in the brass here and there but nothing that draws away from this incredible crown. She is truly a crown of glory. An extremely talented metal worker made this crown. On the top, there is some old candle wax which I dare not touch. This beautiful piece of artwork measures 6″ tall and 3 1/8th” across the center of the headband. I hope my pictures do justice to this one of a kind fabulous pieces of art. Please ask questions if you have any. I will pack extremely careful but should you wish to add options please let me know.

Very rare pair of antique hand-carved wooden Santos figures, each measuring approximately 16 inches tall. Both figures wear crowns and long robes, decorated in traces of gilt and polychrome paint in gold, red, and black. One figure holds a shield decorated with a large cross. The other stands with his hands clasped in prayer, a gesture of devotion and humility. The expressive faces, elongated forms, and richly worn finish suggest they were carved in the late 19th to early 20th century c. These would have originally been displayed on a home altar or chapel, and today they make a striking addition for collectors of religious art, Spanish Colonial antiques, or rustic folk décor. Original paint and gilt with age-related wear, patina, and losses. Handsome surface showing natural crackling and color fading, consistent with 100+ years of age. Both figures stand solidly. Please see photos for details. Height: 16 in (38 cm). 3 in x 3 in.
