Puerto Rico Art vintage Santo de Palo wood carving San Sebastian -Ernesto Rivera
This vintage “Santo de Palo” of San Sebastian is in good condition. The wood is solid and well painted, with a detailed face, drops of blood, ribbed chest and smooth skin. The right arm has a small crack at the shoulder (See photo). There’s a slight crack on the left wrist (See photo) which is hardly visible. The two arrows that pierce the chest were broken off and must be re-glued. It’s believed to have been carved sometime in the 1970’s or’80’s.
