CC-2: Mexican colonial devotional art, and Mexican colonial woodcarvings, a wooden statue of a saint, most likely St. Dominic, Mexico, c. 17th century. The figure is hand-carved and has glass eyes. St. Dominic is the founder of the Dominican order, so important in the history of colonial Mexico. Condition is remarkable given the age of the piece; at some point, wood-beetles infested the statue.
