<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 209847, member: 136&quot;]Is your statue holding anything in his hands? (I can&#039;t quite tell from the photos.) St Francis of Assisi is considered the patron saint of animals, among other things, and he is often depicted with a bird in his hands. (He&#039;s a pretty &quot;popular&quot; saint, as those things go, so there are many statues of him out there.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure why a statue of St Francis of Assisi would have been made in Thailand, as the country&#039;s Catholic population is rather small.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could be totally off the mark, but my guess is that this piece came from a &quot;more Catholic&quot; location.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
