Description

One piece of Olive Wood carved into Saint Michael.  A winged angel in motion, which is typical of archangel representations One arm raised (often symbolizing triumph or holding a weapon like a sword)

Saint Michael the Archangel is one of the most important angels in Christian tradition. He’s seen as a protector, warrior, and leader of God’s army against evil.

The figure standing over a smaller figure or creature, commonly interpreted as Satan or a defeated demon

Intricate carving in the robes, wings, is  handcrafted

This style is very consistent with religious carvings from Bethlehem or the Holy Land, especially olive wood pieces that are popular in church displays and artisan collections.

It has both spiritual symbolism and visual impact.
