Ignatius of Loyola, of Antioch Tall Wooden animal StatuesIgnatius of Loyola, of Antioch Tall Wooden animal Statues

1) Iconographic and Symbolic Elements:
S. Ignazio: Reference to Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus.
Testa di Leone: Unusual and symbolic element.
2) Religious Significance:
The "testa di leone" associated with Saint Ignatius is a non-traditional iconography. It could allude to:
Strength and Courage: Qualities attributed to the lion, which go well with the determination and resilience of Saint Ignatius in his spiritual life and in the foundation of the Order.
Victory over Evil: The lion, in some traditions, symbolizes victory over temptation or sin, reflecting Ignatius' spiritual struggle.
* Biblical/Hagiographic Reference: There may be a specific interpretation linked to an episode in the Saint's life or to a biblical passage that links him to this symbolism, although it is not common.
This representation makes the statuette a unique piece with a profound meaning for those seeking a bolder and more symbolic interpretation of the figure of Saint Ignatius.

St. Ignatius of Antioch, bishop and martyr of the 1st century, is a pivotal figure in early Christianity. Disciple of St. John the Evangelist, he was the third bishop of Antioch, one of the most important apostolic sees. His veneration is mainly linked to his martyrdom in Rome, under Emperor Trajan, where he was fed to the lions in the amphitheater. His letters, written during his journey to martyrdom, are precious testimonies of the faith and organization of the nascent Church, emphasizing unity around the bishop and the importance of the Eucharist. His iconography with the lion's head symbolizes his sacrifice and his unwavering faith in the face of martyrdom.
