Description

Carved and gilded wood carvings depicting Santa Margherita and an Apostle. The Saint is presented standing, in a dynamic pose, which rests the weight on the right leg, the opposite one slightly advanced, to create an evenment that makes the body assume a spiral-shaped position. In his right hand he probably held a crucifix or a palmette, while his feet are almost enveloped by the figure of a dragon. The Apostle with one arm raised and the Bible held in his left hand, seems to want to communicate not only with words but also with the gestures of his own body.

Product Condition:
