This olive wood St. Michael Archangel statue is a substantial Bethlehem carving for a prayer corner, home altar, office or meaningful Christian gift. St. Michael is shown with wide feathered wings and a long spear, standing in victory over evil. Fine lines define the armor, garments, hair and wings, while the polished olive wood reveals a different grain pattern on every piece. A small wooden orb hangs from his hand and the separate wooden base carries a St. Michael nameplate. The verified size is 36 cm high, 16 cm wide and 15 cm deep, approximately 14.2 by 6.3 by 5.9 inches. The measured weight is 1,172 g, about 2.6 lb. It is priced at 300 USD with a 600 USD compare-at price.
The first thing you notice is the span of the wings. Look closer and the carved feathers, armor and folded garments lead the eye down to the scene beneath St. Michael's feet. The natural olive wood grain moves through the sculpture and makes each statue visually distinct.

Why This Carving Stands Apart
At 14.2 inches tall, this piece has enough presence for a shelf or prayer space without requiring a large pedestal. The carved scene is readable from across a room, while the face, feathers and wood grain reward a closer look. The broad wooden base also gives the tall composition a steady display footprint.
St. Michael is honored as a defender against evil and a symbol of courage, faith and protection. That meaning makes this sculpture suitable for a Catholic household, a church office, confirmation or ordination gift, or a family prayer space. It also connects the subject to Bethlehem's Christian wood carving tradition through the warm tone and changing lines of local olive wood.
