Disappointed with overall appearance

Beautiful Colors!

Love this St. Francis Santos! The colors are vibrant and bold. It stands out in my room with my candles and cactus! Highly recommend it.

just love him

I have been in search of a St Francis for many years and I wanted the colorful, folk art look. This one is exactly what I wanted. Came quickly, too which was extra nice because it was a birthday gift to myself!
