Santa Barbara with Tower: Handcrafted Wood Carving from Val Gardena

Saint Barbara with Tower is a hand-carved figure in the Val Gardena tradition, depicted standing in flowing garments. The cloak is painted a deep dark blue over a cream inner tunic and pristine veil; crown and drapery edges have a gold-leaf finish. The crenellated cylindrical tower is held to her chest as the saint’s principal attribute.

The face shows serene contemplation with delicate features and downcast eyes. The statue is offered in Painted (C), Natural (N) or Three Shades of Brown (3G) finishes.

Pieces up to 56 cm are carved from precious maple wood; larger sizes from 60 cm upwards are executed in linden wood for greater stability and sculptural definition. Each statue is hand-carved and finished according to traditional techniques.
