Bulto – Holy Family
1935-1942
This charming design reimagines the traditional Holy Family with a distinctly American twist, featuring the child Jesus sporting the iconic spiked crown of the Statue of Liberty. Flanked by a bearded Joseph in a turban and a serene Mary in a flowing red gown, the trio stands before a stylized, geometric altar that looks like a folk art stage set. Created by E. Boyd during the 1930s and 40s, this piece blends sacred religious imagery with playful, modernist design, turning a classic biblical scene into a whimsical celebration of faith and national identity.
