Sculpture Saint Catherine of Siena in Val Gardena Wood, Hand-Painted

A statue of Saint Catherine of Siena carved in the centuries-old Val Gardena tradition, shown in quiet contemplation with her head slightly bowed and a serene expression.

Rendered in earthy tones — brown monastic habit, dark veil and pristine wimple — the figure is finely carved with precise folds and distinctive attributes, then hand-painted to enhance depth and a smooth, natural finish.

Sizes up to 56 cm are carved from maple, prized for its fine grain and ability to hold detail; larger sizes (from 56 cm) are produced in basswood, which is lighter and better suited to bigger sculptures. Each piece is handcrafted.
