St. Pancras Statue in Carved Wood, Val Gardena

This sculpture of Saint Pancras shows a dynamic pose and a serene, youthful face. He wears a dark red cloak with realistic folds and a fine gold border, and a light beige-brown tunic belted with a ribbon bearing a gold star, creating a luminous effect.

The right arm is raised with the index finger extended, the left hand holds an open book with finely painted Latin inscriptions. Every detail, from the drapery to the sandals, is hand‑finished by sculptors and painters from Val Gardena, continuing a centuries‑old tradition.

Sizes up to 56 cm are carved from precious maple wood for superior definition; larger sizes are in robust linden wood for stability, up to 200 cm. The coloured finish is entirely hand‑painted with high‑quality pigments for an opaque, realistic effect, making each statue a unique, durable work of art.
