SITTING PATRA SANTOS DOLL
Product details
These beautiful Santos dolls are replicas made in France of 17th century iconic religious figures used in small villages. I am drawn to their spare and haunting elegance.
Often found in Portuguese or Spanish communities, these dolls were used in Catholic religious processions and were often elaborately dressed in beautiful gowns and topped with golden crowns. These dolls would occupy a place of prominence in the home of a wealthy person or chapel. The cage could also be used as a sort of prayer shrine with objects placed inside the cage.
Patra is in the sitting position and would look great on a shelf or box. For those who like ecclectic style.
Her arms move and Patra is 40cm in length
