Viene chimato così perché al posto della mano destra ha un uncino di ferro, la mano gli fu mozzata da Peter Pan durante un combattimento e poi data in pasto ad un coccodrillo, il quale gradì così tanto la mano che spera di mangiarsi anche il pirata al quale continua a dare la caccia. L’opera, in legno di castagno scolpito è stata realizzata da un bravo scultore ligure, Italia del Nord, alla fine del XIX secolo, di ottima fattura ritrare il mezzo busto di un uomo barbuto, l’occhio destro bendato e l’uncino al posto della mano destra, mentre la mano sinistra impugna una grande spada e una bandana come copriacapo.

Located in Forney, TX
A scarce 17th century Spanish Colonial carved wood santo with provenance from the National Museum of the Philippines Manila. circa late 1600s A large part of what makes this example so very rare is not just the age and condition, but the saint depicted, San Roque.
