Let yourselves be enveloped by the contemplative majesty of the Sculpture of Saint Cletus, a masterpiece of sacred art passionately carved by the master artisans of Val Gardena. This statue captures the essence of devotion through the figure of an imposing and profoundly serene bishop.
The figure stands in an upright pose, with the left arm holding the emblem of spiritual power, the golden pastoral staff, while the right arm embraces an open book, a symbol of the Word and knowledge. The expression, slightly thoughtful and directed downwards, conveys a deep inner calm and meditation, making the work a focal point of spirituality.
The richness of detail is enhanced by the colored finish (variant C), where the terracotta red of the mantle blends with the cream white of the robe and the sumptuous accents in pure gold applied by hand. The miter, pectoral cross, and drapery decoration shine, conferring an aura of sacredness and value. The draperies, carved with exceptional realism, add depth and visual movement, while the careful workmanship of the beard and hair testifies to the carver's mastery.
This sculpture, available in a wide range of sizes and finishes (Colored, Natural, or Three Shades of Brown), is made of maple wood for variants up to 56 cm, chosen for their fineness and ability to render minute details. For larger sizes (starting from 56 cm), precious linden wood is used, ideal for ensuring stability and magnificence to monumental works.
