Santos wooden cage doll. [N.p., n.d., ca. 1800s-1890s]. Vintage painted wood cage doll with original glass eyes, with an elaborately-carved wooden base decorated with three cherub faces. With removable, articulated arms. Approximately 20 x 13 x 48? with base. Generally worn, soiled, some cracks to doll?s head and the wooden base. Some scratches to the eyes. Still, a very good example of this doll. These dolls were generally used to help convert native peoples to Catholicism or were used in people?s houses as makeshift altars. This doll, with its elaborate base with cherub faces is especially rare and unusual.
