At 18.5 inches tall, this Bethlehem olive wood interpretation of St. Michael commands attention for a prayer room, church office, home altar or formal display. St. Michael raises a long sword above the scene while broad carved wings extend behind his armor. His lowered hand holds two strings of wooden beads, and his foot rests within a detailed victory composition above the base. The verified sculpture measures 47 cm high, 25 cm wide and 21 cm deep, approximately 18.5 by 9.8 by 8.3 inches. Its measured weight is 2,686 g, about 5.92 lb. Natural olive wood grain moves across the figure, wings and separate dark wooden base, so each finished carving carries its own pattern.

The Carving at a Glance

The tall vertical pose gives this St. Michael sculpture presence from across a room, yet the close work is equally important. Fine cuts define the hair, face, breastplate, layered garment and individual feathers. The defeated figure beneath the archangel creates a complete narrative rather than a simple standing portrait. A small St. Michael nameplate on the base identifies the subject without interrupting the carved scene.

Why This Sculpture Stands Apart

The sculpture combines height, width and a deeply carved base scene in one balanced composition. Its 25 cm wing span and raised sword create a strong outline, while the broad wooden base supports the 2.7 kg weight. The alternating honey and dark brown grain adds contrast across the armor and garments without painted color.

Devotional Meaning

St. Michael is honored in Catholic, Orthodox and wider Christian tradition as a defender against evil and a model of courage. This carving can serve as a devotional focus, a church or office statement piece, or a gift for confirmation, ordination and households with a devotion to the archangel. It also reflects the continuing Christian olive wood carving tradition of Bethlehem.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the exact dimensions and weight?

The statue is 47 cm high, 25 cm wide and 21 cm deep, approximately 18.5 by 9.8 by 8.3 inches. The measured weight is 2,686 g, or about 5.92 lb.

What details are included in the St. Michael scene?

St. Michael is shown with a raised sword, carved armor, wide wings and hanging wooden beads. A defeated figure appears beneath him, and the front of the base carries a St. Michael nameplate.

Is every statue identical?

The subject and overall carving follow the same design, but olive wood naturally changes in grain, color and markings. Those variations make each finished statue visually individual.

Where can a sculpture this size be displayed?

Its substantial height suits a home altar, prayer room, church office, reception area or deep display shelf. Use a level surface that supports the full wooden base.

How should the carving be moved and cleaned?

Lift it with both hands beneath the base and avoid pressure on the sword, wings or beads. Use a soft dry cloth for dust and keep liquid cleaners away from the polished wood.

Care: For routine cleaning, pass a clean dry microfiber cloth across the grain and carved recesses. Keep the sculpture in a low-humidity area, separated from heaters, wet surfaces and continuous harsh sun. Carry it with both hands beneath the base.
