About the Item

Pair of polychrome wooden shoes, originally attached to a large Santa Virgen figure from Guatemala. The shoes are finely carved with pointed toes and painted black, with remnants white polychrome visible on the upper areas. Heavily worn with age, the surface bears patina and areas of loss, attesting to their devotional use. These elements were likely part of a fully dressed religious sculpture, meant to be clothed in elaborate garments, with the shoes anchoring the feet to a processional or altar base. 19th to early 20th century.
