Rustic Folk Sacred Heart Devotional Santo — Santo Bulto with Host

Presenting a soulful hand-carved bulto of El Sagrado Corazón de Jesús — the Sacred Heart of Jesus — a beloved and powerful symbol of divine love, compassion, and mercy. In this expressive folk interpretation, Christ stands barefoot upon a swirling cloud base, his gaze steady and serene. He holds a removable wooden plate or host, and his chest bears the radiant red heart aflame — a central emblem in Catholic devotion.

Hand-carved from wood and painted in earthy tones with rustic red and gold-trimmed robes, this piece echoes the enduring santero traditions of New Mexico and Mexico. Its rough-hewn texture, heartfelt expression, and sacred symbolism speak to the quiet strength of faith carried through generations.

Condition:
In good condition with a purposefully rustic design. Minor surface wear, natural grain irregularities, and a small nick atop the head are visible. Paint has aged gently in places, consistent with the folk character of the piece.
