Jesus Santo 18th Century Dressed in 18th Century Vestment Material Carved wood Glass Eyes
My local antique dealer had the clothing made from 18th century vestment material. Do you like him better clothed or not clothed?
I like both ways but I see him as a creche but maybe not Jesus ? Very neat piece !! I am a purist so I guess without clothes ? How ever you love him is what matters
Manikin,
I just went by what the antique dealer told me. I love him regardless. Thank for your opinion on the clothes...still debating...
I like his clothing made from 18th century vestment material. Real nice.
Alfie,
Thank you for your opinion on the clothing!
I am intrigued by this Santos / Creche Saint . Can you show me how neck is attached and how tall is he ? and a photo of back side . Maybe remove a few of the gown ? Or send them to me email ? It is in my profile . I can see glass eyes they look painted ? Bear with me I am always learning :-)
Manikin,
Of course, but give me several days, for I hung him high on the wall. Funny, but I did not even check his eyes out myself, but just wrote what was on the tag.
Ok I will watch for a email or post :-) Thank you I have to study him if you don't mind my researching for my future knowledge as I have always tried to be on top of Creche and Santos figures. Hugs
Manikin,
I promise you...just a few days. The back should be easy because the clothes do not go completely around. I was so afraid of breaking it, so I hung it up right away :)
Manikin,
I just added more photos in another post
