19th Spanish Colonial Santos Hands, Set of Three, Mounted

About the Item

Interesting and unusual group of three Spanish Colonial painted plaster hands, two mounted on marble bases and one on a custom wood stand. Whimsical, or just creepy, they are uniqiue. Likely hands from santos figures, which often break off. The previous collector thought enough of them to have them beautifully mounted. Give someone a hand! Provenance: Artist Karl Mann, purchased in Lima, Peru in the 1960's. Measures: 7.75 in (tallest) 4 in widest, 3.25 deepest.

Two great examples of 18th century Spanish Colonial slipper stirrups. Not a pair, each similar yet different.

19th century Italian carved alabaster head of a saint wearing a bishop's mitre in the Gothic style. Though a fragment, the intense gaze of this small carving gives it a lot of presence.
