Do you think this is from the Southwest or Puerto Rico? We have a collection of Puerto Rican Santos figures but this one is more finely carved. It's a beautiful piece.
I'm fairly certain this is Mexican, but I'm no expert in Spanish Colonial pieces. I do have some pretty good early ex-votos that I picked up about 15 years ago before the prices really started going up. You used to be able to get nice mid-19th century retablos and ex-votos for like $200.00. Now those same ones are over $1000.00 easy. Yet another reason why we need time machines...
