Old and rare clay santon woman sitting on a wooden chair, with yarn and knitting needle in one hand and the doily she is knitting in the other.  The clay woman wears a large fabric hat that rests between her head and the wooden chair she sits on. In very good condition for its age. 

The santons or “little saints” are clay figures that originated in Marseille. Dating back to the 13th century the first nativities were living. Saint Francis of Assisi introduced this tradition and was later named the patronage of animals and santonniers.
