Are these Santo carvings? They are wood carvings with no marks.

Yes, I would say they are Santos. Spanish colonial I'd guess.

 

Thanks!

 

Given the crudeness of their execution, Spanish Colonial in inspiration only I'd think. And they appear to be secular rather than religious which means that technically they wouldn't be considered saints or santos.

Thanks.

 

Possibly not Santos but surely the "crude" execution doesn't preclude them from being Spanish Colonial, does it?
Personally I think they have a rather expressive air and don't really consider them contrived or crude - plus given the kneeling figure, the group could easily be part of the Adoration of the Magi in a creche tableau.
<edit>(I guess I shouldn't say "creche tableau" as that implies French figures. Let's say nativity scene instead.)

 

I think they are religious--see the Wiki image.

 

belén = nativity scene in Spanish.

Possibly Bultos, like Santos but more for home use?
The green skin is unlike any Santo or Bulto I have ever seen. I don't know if the colour is significant, or a personal preference?

 

Thanks!
