This document provides information about a 19th century wooden statue of a Catholic saint, likely John the Baptist, from the Philippines. It measures 58.5x14 cm and was originally an object of veneration in a home. The Tropenmuseum acquired it from a private collector in 1990. It was an important acquisition as it added representation of Christian religion in Southeast Asia to the museum's collection, which previously had few such objects.
