San Francisco Xavier
In this piece, the Jesuit missionary San Francisco Xavier is depicted in a statue hand carved from wood and finished with natural and water-based pigments, varnish and beeswax. The haloed figure stands on an ornate black and gold pedestal holding a crucifix and wearing a gold-trimmed white surplice over a dark patterned robe.
