Figure - Santos Doll (Caged Doll) - Wood

Santos doll (carved doll, caged doll) entirely made of wood.

These Santos dolls were made by priests for home altars in small villages that did not have their own church or priest since the 17th century. The cage was intended to easily drape lush fabrics and dresses over them during processions.

This is a vintage version, presumably from the 1960s/1970s of the last century.

In perfect, beautiful, undamaged condition with normal signs of use consistent with age. See the photos. Her arms can move.

The dimensions are approximately:

Height: 35 cm
Foot width: 17.5 cm
Foot depth: 12.5 cm
Weight: 515 grams (0.515 kg)
