Antique polychrome wooden reliquary bust dating back to the late 17th century of Spanish origin.

The face has sweet but solemn features with the gaze turned slightly upwards in an attitude of ecstasy.

The hairstyle is made up of long brown hair that falls wavy on the shoulders.

The saint wears a draped tunic of an intense red color with deep vertical folds that give dynamism and plasticity to the sculpture.

The base has the shape of an urn in carved and lacquered wood and has a small window in the centre intended to house a relic.

The lower corners of the base are characterised by the presence of two cherub heads that visually act as feet.

General Conditions: To be restored.

Origin: Spain, late 17th century.
