Mexican Folk Art Carved Wood Guadalupe Altar Statue, Hand-Painted M2033

A vivid piece of Mexican devotional folk art, this carved wood figure depicts Our Lady of Guadalupe in a bold, naive style typical of mid-century santos and village carving traditions. She's rendered in a flattened, relief-like form with hands clasped in prayer. Circa 1950s-60s

The paint is applied with real folk-art charm, expressive facial features, a jaunty crown, and a lively, hand-done quality that reads as village-made rather than mass-produced. Wear and paint loss consistent with age and devotional use adds to the piece's authenticity.

She would work equally well as a freestanding altar piece or hung on the wall as a folk art iconet piece. We have two similar pieces like this that are sold separately.
