Statues of Saint Antony, Saint Joseph or Saint Francis are all popular representations of saints. However, our collection also includes saint figures that are peculiar to the alpine regions such as the Holy Spirit in the shape of a dove with halo or Saint Florian, patron saint of the firefighters. Moreover, we also produce representations of Saint Cosmas, patron saint of the doctors and surgeons and Saint Damian, patron saint of the pharmacists. Among the selection of reliefs you can find the Last Supper (see picture above), the relief of the praying hands according to Albrecht Dürer and the Stations of the Cross. This work is carved on 14 rectangular linden wood panels with a dimension of 8 x 16 inch (40 x 20 cm), a golden cross at the top end and a golden Roman number carved at the base. In the Franco Online Shop you can find our complete selection of saint figures, reliefs and the Stations of the Cross.
