[QUOTE="blooey, post: 987335, member: 12007"]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](I guess I shouldn't say "creche tableau" as that implies French figures.
