27" Hand-Painted Mexican Ceramic St. Francis — Rustic Folk Art
Large hand-crafted ceramic sculpture of St. Francis, painted in a vivid rustic palette of red, green, and black. This 27-inch figure depicts the patron saint of animals holding birds, rendered in a stylized folk-art form with intentional distressing and textured finish. Likely a mid-to-late 20th-century Mexican import, this piece blends spiritual symbolism with artisan character. The hand-painted surface displays an aged, weathered look by design, contributing to its earthy, devotional charm.
A standout decorative work ideal for indoor sanctuaries, garden nooks, or collectors of Mexican folk art and religious iconography.
