Three faces for a little sculpture

In the announcement of the restoration of six tocheiros, in 2014, the Municipality describes pyramidal structures with three decorated faces, gold leaf, floral motifs and heads of angels. It proposes a probable assignment to Frei José Vilaça and a conclusion between 1764 and 1767. The source presents this authorship as hypothesis, distinct from the confirmed assignment of the furniture of the sacristy.

The news also included the cross of the main altar between the pieces under treatment at the Santa Bárbara Workshops in Porto. The intervention was financed by a patron. This episode links the conservation of the heritage to the specialized work and the support of those who assume its costs.
