The sculpture of Saint Barbara with Tower is a masterpiece of devotion and artisanal skill, a work that carries within it the centuries-old tradition of the sculptors of Val Gardena. This depiction captures the saint in a standing pose, enveloped in flowing garments that create extraordinary visual dynamism.
The cloak, painted in a deep dark blue, contrasts elegantly with the cream-colored inner tunic and the pristine veil, while the details of the crown and the edges of the drapery are enriched with a gold leaf-like finish, which imparts a touch of sacred regality and luminosity. The main attribute, the crenellated cylindrical tower, is held firmly to her chest, a symbol of her unwavering faith.
The expression on her face is one of serene contemplation, emphasized by delicate features and downcast eyes, conveying a profound sense of peace and devotion.
Each piece is hand-carved and finished in accordance with sculptural tradition. This statue is available in various finishes — Painted (C), Natural (N), or Three Shades of Brown (3G) — allowing for perfect integration into any sacred or domestic environment.
To ensure the highest quality and definition in every size, the statue is made from precious maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm. Larger sizes (from 60 cm upwards), however, are carved from the more robust and suitable linden wood, a material chosen for its stability and its excellent sculptural rendering on a large scale.
