A large jet carving of Saint James the Greater. Santiago de Compostela, mid 17th century.
James the son of Zebedee is the patron saint of Spaniards and as such is often identified as Santiago, hence his frequent veneration in small jet sculptures & talismans from Santiago De Compostela.
Images of him would have been purchased by pilgrims of which he was also the patron Saint.
