Santiago
(Saint James The Greater)
Santiago is a protector against all ills and was the patron saint of Spanish soldiers during the conquest of Mexico. The saint is depicted atop a white horse and carrying a banner while he tramples upon a Moor. The saint is usually portrayed as being quite larger than his victim. This is a very scarce piece and dates from around 1650.
