Santo António

This refined sculpture of Santo António, the patron saint of Lisbon carrying baby Jesus, is made entirely by hand. Cold ceramic painting techniques were used to adorn the figure with a rich brown and gold cloak. The gold-plated processional cross and crown are made in gold-plated silver by a local goldsmith.
