Wonderful wood carving of St. Francis of Assisi (San Francisco).  The figure of St. Francis is shown with birds and a dog which is a rarer depiction.  The body, base and dog are carved from a single piece of wood. The birds on the shoulders are removable, as is the extended hand.  The painting takes advantage of the natural tones of the wood and adds greens and brick red colors.
