Full original description
Keeper of reliquary with hands together in an attitude of recollection. He lacks a part of his left foot, but he lacks since the craftsman made the piece, because it is the original patina, a very cueriosa thing, since it is frequent to cut pieces of foot in some ethnicities to make small relics, but usually of already consecrated pieces. If that piece had been cut after consecrated, I wouldn't have the same patina.
