This statuette in boxwood, representing Saint Sebastian tied to a tree, is made in the province of Valencia in Spain, in ca. 1700-1720.
This figure is unusual in its moderate use of polychromy. The skin colour appears to be a wash surface on the wood, rather than painted, while the lack of paint on the hair means that the fine carving is clearly visible.
