A dark-skinned sculpture, identified as Saint Benedict the Moor (São Benedito), is depicted in a three-quarter view within an indoor gallery setting. The figure, possibly cast in bronze or carved from dark wood, wears a brown monastic habit with a visible golden-brown rope belt. A metallic, silver-colored, spiky halo or crown is affixed to its head, which features short, textured hair and a downward gaze. Both hands, sculpted as part of the robe, grasp a green and brown staff-like object horizontally. Resting upon this staff is a smaller, light-skinned infant figure, partially obscured. The background consists of a brightly lit, plain white wall on the left and upper sections, transitioning to a darker, out-of-focus area on the right, suggesting additional exhibits or a deeper room. This sculpture is located at the Museu de Arte Sacra de São Paulo, in the Luz neighborhood of São Paulo, Brazil.
