Description

Dressed in white Dominican habit with multi-fold black clock over it. He is portrayed with a raised right hand and a forefinger pointing heavenward; while his left hand holding a book. He wears a large, square scapular that is almost unnoticed due to fading colors. Done in "estofado" are his wings where the colors of yellow, white and black are used. Also found are elaborate but not well defined carvings of lilies. The same floral design together with emblems of the Dominican Order enhance the general appearance of the religious tablet.

This item is part of the DM Guevara Collection which pays tribute to the Filipino artisans of the past two centuries. Comprising of both fine furniture collections and folk implements, the collection highlights Western and Asian influences that are exquisite and functionally Filipino. The DM Guevara Collection was put together by the family matriarch Carmen S. Guevara for the Museo ng Buhay Pilipino in 1979.
