This antique statue of a Saint, crafted with terracotta head, hands, and legs and a straw‑formed body, is a devotional artifact of great charm, distinguished by its strong expressive presence thanks to the glass eyes, which give depth and realism to the gaze. The terracotta shows an authentic patina, with wear consistent with the age of the piece, while the original garments display fading, abrasions, losses, and natural fragility due to time.
The fingers have been reconstructed with interventions respectful of the original structure, while the halo is missing. Despite these losses, the statue retains strong aesthetic and historical value, ideal for collectors of antique sacred art, enthusiasts of historical devotional objects, or anyone seeking decorative pieces with character and authenticity.
The combination of traditional materials—straw, terracotta, glass—and artisanal workmanship gives the piece a unique identity, perfect for period interiors, themed displays, or collections dedicated to popular devotion.
