    Hello, Trying to figure out a possible age for this, my knowledge is limited when it comes to statues and art. It does have a little worm/bug damage/holes on the under side and maybe a couple layers of paint. Not sure if that is a shield he is holding or something else. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    New-ish. Too bright, modern sensibility, unnatural wear. A little souvenir from Spain or somewhere. A true polychrome carved wooden Medieval sculpture would look like this.

    Seems to me made and sold as a souvenir as Deobra suggested.

    @ded321, in the future, when posting images, before you hit 'post', if you would click on the VERY top image that says "INSERT EVERY IMAGE AS A FULL IMAGE", please, it would help everyone in viewing your images!! Thank you!! IMHO, I do believe the face, in particular, on your piece, is much too modern looking to be 15th century!! Look carefully at what @Debora posted and yours again here:

    I appreciate the feedback, everyone has been very helpful and the insight was kinda along the lines of what I was guessing as well.
