Jose Rizal's lesser known artwork

Jude Roland Ay-Ay, senior shrine curator of the Rizal Museum, and museum technician Emily Bonaobra clean an undated sculpture by national hero Jose Rizal depicting the Portuguese Catholic priest San Antonio de Padua at the Rizal Shrine in Intramuros, Manila. Rizal created the work during his exile in Dapitan from 1892 to 1896. The sculpture was heavily damaged during World War II, resulting in the loss of its head.
