Puerto Rican Santos De Palo/Wood Carved Sculptures of The Three Wise Men Afoot

About the Item

A renowned tradition in Puerto Rico is the making of Santos de Palms by Masters Carvers since the 19th century. They hand carved and painted the saints inspired in their personal religious devotion. This is an early 20th century Puerto Rican Wood Carved Sculptures of the Three Wise Men Afoot by the Puerto Rican craftsman Rivera. The robes are hand painted with brick, light and dark brown colors. They are standing in a rectangular wooden base. Each one of them is holding the gift for Baby Jesus. One of them is missing a hand. Sometimes that happens because they were made individually and then attached to the wood sculpture.
