Aaron is shown here as a bearded older man in a long robe, with a book in one hand and a staff in the other. The wooden statue suits people who want to make biblical figures of the Old Testament visible in their home.
The figure meant is usually the biblical Aaron, eldest son of Amram and Jochebed, brother of Moses and Miriam from the tribe of Levi and first High Priest of Israel. According to the Bible he died aged 123 on Mount Hor. In art he is depicted with a priestly staff, and his feast day is usually observed on 1 July. He is regarded as patron saint of button makers.

The Val Gardena workshop makes the Aaron statue as a one-of-a-kind piece, because every block of wood has its own run of grain. You wait approx. 4–5 weeks for the Aaron statue. The parcel is sent insured via UPS from our warehouse in Flieden, to all delivery countries, for €6.90. Every piece is blessed by a Catholic priest in our warehouse in Flieden and comes with a certificate card showing the date of the blessing.
