Beautiful C. 18th Century Carved Santos in Red and Gold Polychrome ceramic pot 14" tall x 15 3/4"I'm not an expert on carved santos in terms of dating and identifying their specific place of origin, but I've looked at a lot, and believe this one likely dates to the 18th rather than the 19th century, and could be even a bit earlier than that.
