Antique Spanish Colonial Santo Niño

This is a wonderful and sweet depiction of the Christ Child, or Santo Niño. The charming Niño has been carved from wood, applied gesso and polychromed with the addition of beautiful blue glass eyes and a silver potencias crown. The hair has been painted with pan de oro, or gold gilt, and there is evidence of over-painting in some places, very common for antique santos. This is a beautiful Santo Niño, wonderful for any devotional collection.
