Santos, which means "saints" in Spanish, are wooden or ivory statues of Catholic saints or religious figures. Decoupage is a technique of decorating objects by gluing cut-out paper or prints onto a surface and then sealing them with layers of varnish.
The production of Santos began with Spanish artisans who created devotional images of Catholic saints for use in churches, monasteries, and private households. These statues were meticulously hand-carved from wood or carved from ivory, and they often depicted the likeness of popular saints, such as the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, and various apostles and martyrs.
