Saint Christopher, Patron Saint of Travelers, Wood Carving from Val Gardena

Saint Christopher carrying the Child Jesus, carved with vivid realism: the giant saint strides through foaming waves, his face marked by effort. He wears an olive-green tunic and a brick-red cloak enriched with gold leaf detailing that catches the light.

The Child Jesus sits serenely on Christopher’s shoulders, holding the terrestrial globe as a sign of blessing. The pilgrim’s staff is textured and gnarled like a tree trunk, underscoring the connection to nature and the journey motif.

A Dolfi piece from Val Gardena, finely hand-finished by master sculptors. Made of precious maple for sizes up to 56 cm and of sturdy linden for larger dimensions. Available in natural wood or polychrome finishes.
