🌿 Product Description
A beautiful and refined religious statue: this hand-carved statue of Saint Anthony the Abbot depicts the saint together with his pig, the traditional symbol associated with this saint.
The statue is crafted from maple wood and hand-painted, ensuring a warm and authentic appearance. Thanks to the craftsmanship of the woodcarving and the subtle details, this is a special piece of religious art.
The saint is identified as Anthony the Great, an important figure in the Christian tradition.

He is also invoked as a protector against skin diseases, plague, contagious diseases, and the so-called St. Anthony's Fire (gangrene).

A charming collectible for lovers of religious statues and traditional woodcarving.
