A Collection of Five Spanish Colonial Polychrome Wood Santos Figures - A collection of five carved wood religious figures, likely originating from Spanish Colonial or Latin American folk art traditions (bultos or santos). The figures depict various devotional subjects, including male and female saints, presented in standing and kneeling postures. Each figure is constructed from carved wood, heavily coated in gesso, and finished with polychrome pigments in red, yellow, green, and blue. The leftmost figure displays traces of decorative patterning consistent with the estofado technique. The figures are mounted on integrated or rectangular wooden bases.
