Figurine - Houten heiligenbeeld - 45 cm - Wood

19th-century Santos statue from the Val Gardena region, hand carved from wood. Val Gardena is known for its centuries-old tradition of alpine woodcarving and religious folk art. The figure stands on an original square pedestal and holds a small book — a classic symbol of devotion and knowledge. The original polychromy has beautifully aged over the years and shows layers of red, ochre, and earth tones beneath a rich, weathered patina. It is precisely the visible aging, wear, and missing arm that give the object its powerful and authentic appearance. Not a restored decorative piece, but an honest historical object with character and presence.
