For sale is a RARE Antique early 19th Century Polychrome hand Carved hand painted folk art Wooden Santo/Christianity religious statue. The mains image is St. Rocco (or St. Roch) whose classic posture reveals his wounded left leg. By exposing his wound, he reminds people that illness and suffering are part of life and are to be endured through one’s devotion to God. He is a guardian saint for dog and children, Hence the two smaller statues in front of him on the floating platform. You can read his full story here:

The statue stands 14" tall and 9” wide. It is in a very well preserved condition considering it is over 200 years old. It is structurally strong with no loose connections. The paint is all original and has been beautifully preserved. No significant wears or losses is observed. The muted coloration is especially attractive. The patina speaks for itself of the old age. There is an area around of chippy paint near St Rocco’s ankle. Could be an old repair but I am not sure. See the last photo for details. I acquired this santo statue from a high end New England primitive Wood work collector’s Estate auction.


Overall, an authentic primitive folk art religious statue made by highly skilled artisan of the early 19th century. It would be an amazing display at your antique primitive/early Americana/antique folk art home.
