A hand-painted wooden statue for everyone called Jonathan: the young man stands in armour, shield in front of him, a lance with a tassel in his hand. The statue comes in four sizes, hand-painted only.
This usually means Jonathan, the eldest son of King Saul and a close friend of David. He fought successfully against the Philistines, kept David’s back free against Saul and fell with his father on Mount Gilboa; David dedicated a lament to him. Their friendship is regarded in the Bible as an image of faithful devotion.
- Heights: 20, 30, 40, 60 cm
- Finish: Hand-painted with oil paints, gold and silver details in leaf metal, fixed with a layer of lacquer
- Wood: wood from the Gardena Valley – mainly lime wood, depending on size also maple or Swiss stone pine
As a christening gift for a boy named Jonathan or for a name day, but above all as a sign of a friendship that lasts a lifetime, the statue is a gift with meaning.
