Item Description: Translate description
This large, striking altar statue of Saint Francis dates to the 1600s and was likely created for a church interior or mission altar in Southern Europe or colonial Latin America. Despite the missing arms, a common loss in early wooden religious statuary, the work radiates a quiet strength through its posture and simplicity.

Saint Francis was often portrayed in a robe with a tonsured head, reflecting humility and connection to nature.

This example, part of the Samuel Presley Nesmith Jr. Texas Museum of Military History Collection, is a compelling artifact of Catholic devotional life in the early modern era.
