Description from the seller
Il DIAVOLO e l'ACQUASANTA
Iconic anthropomorphic wooden bottle holders hand-painted, of Spanish origin, named "The Devil and the Friar"
In excellent condition with very light signs of time. (See photos which are an integral part)
The box sculptures, intact in the wood, have nevertheless been treated with anti-termite products and wood preservatives, and then waxed with carnauba wax, hardware in place.
The Red Devil, splendid sculpture of great quality, with a particularly expressive face; the trident is pointed downward to signify that he is a good devil.
Closing with a magnet, and measures 42.5x13.5x14 cm. Weight 1460 g.
The Friar, recognizable by his habit, and by the hieratic and meditative expression of the face.
Closing with a magnet, and measures 40x13.5x14 cm. Weight 1440 g.
Beautiful pair that represent opposites, like white wine and red wine!
Bottle not included.
Photos are part of the description.

The shipping cost includes shipment tracking, packing materials, and insurance for the artwork.
