Sainte Catherine

Large polychrome and silver wood sculpture, perfectly worked the entire length. The figure is carved all around, and all of its beauty is visible from all angles. Remarkable is the realistic color of the face and hands. The silver draperies are illuminated by an exceptional set of folds. The Saint wears a crown of the Princess of Alexandria on his head, and long wavy hair falls over the shoulders. Glass eyes are typical of Neapolitan and Sicilian baroque sculpture. It is obviously an Italian work of art of an extraordinary level. This work is perfectly accomplished on all sides because it was carried out in procession on Saint Catherine's Day. This tradition is still widespread in many towns in southern Italy. Certificate of Authenticity. Shipping is not possible. Direct delivery by us and payment in France.
