Ronald Santino Kowalski “San Francisco de Asís” Carved Santo
Hand-carved from New Mexico juniper, this finely executed santo depicts San Francisco de Asís with outstretched arms, each supporting a carved white dove—an enduring symbol of the saint’s connection to peace and nature. The figure is hand-painted with warm folk-art detailing, including a scalloped white collar, trimmed robe, and expressive facial features typical of regional devotional carving. The underside is signed Ronald Santino Kowalski and inscribed “Handcarved from New Mexico Juniper,” confirming both authorship and origin. The base bears the title “San Francisco de Asís.”
Rooted in the broader New Mexico folk tradition, this piece offers strong presence and charm, making it an appealing addition for collectors of Southwestern santos, devotional art, or handcrafted regional woodcarvings.
