Wood and paint are the materials that are used for this set of religious sculptures representing catholic saints whose cults were widespread all over the Americas: the Virgin Mary (in two different representations), Saint Anthony of Padua, Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Joseph and Saint Isidore. Likely conceived as images for domestic worship, they are the work of different “santeros”, or saint-makers, active in the Santa Fe are during the nineteenth-century, who interpreted freely the traditions of Christian iconography.
