Hand-Carved/Painted Batea Retablo of St. Francis of Assisi – 28056

An 8” tall carved wooden batea hand-painted with an image of St. Francis of Assisi, Patron Saint of Animals.

Bateas are hand-carved wooden “trough” bowls typically used throughout Mexico, South and Central America to knead dough and mix masa for tortillas. 

This small version of a batea has been transformed with hand-painted spiritual art featuring St. Francis of Assisi, Patron Saint of Animals.

It measures 8 inches in height and is ready to hang on a wall, above a door or as part of an altar.  Primary colors are black, turquoise, toffee, brown and bronze.
