This wooden statue of Saint Joseph the Worker depicts the saint with his head slightly bowed and a serene expression. The attributes of his trade, a block of wood and a flowering stem, point to Joseph as a carpenter and to the value of work.
The statue is not hand-carved, but it is hand-painted. Earthy tones on the garments and a broad sash with a bright gold-tone finish highlight the details.
