Description

A striking piece of devotional folk art, this vintage Santos cage doll is a study in beautiful contrasts. The figure is hand-carved from wood, featuring articulated arms and a traditional cage-style base, while the warm, ochre-hued body is set against a serene, gesso-white painted face and hands. This juxtaposition creates a visually arresting effect, highlighted by delicate, hand-painted features and a simple red neckline. Originally crafted for spiritual display, this figure now stands as a powerful and soulful sculptural object, ready to bring a layer of history and artisanal charm to any interior. It is an ideal accent for a console table, a curated bookshelf, or as a standalone piece in a modern home. Presented in great vintage condition, this doll's character-rich patina and authentic distressing are a testament to its age and history. Measuring an impressive 30.5 inches tall with a 7.75-inch round base, it has a commanding yet graceful presence. This piece is perfectly suited for interiors ranging from Boho Chic and Eclectic to rustic Farmhouse or Spanish Colonial, offering a touch of the unexpected and handmade. Don’t let this unforgettable find pass you by. Add this remarkable Santos figure to your home today!
