St Marcellus the Centurion – hand-carved wooden statue from South Tyrol

St Marcellus appears here as a soldier: a man in armour with a shield in front of him, upright and calm. This hand-painted wooden statue is available in four heights and is a gift for Marcel, Marcellus and everyone who respects soldiers and their decisions of conscience.

Marcellus was a Roman centurion. On 21 July 298 he laid down his uniform and sword and professed Christianity; he was beheaded in Tangier. His feast day is given as 29 October.

• Heights: 20 cm / 30 cm / 40 cm / 60 cm
• Finish: Hand-painted: painted with oil paints, with gold leaf and silver leaf details, fixed with lacquer
• Wood: wood from the Gardena Valley – mainly lime wood, depending on size also maple or Swiss stone pine

Anyone who works in the army, the police or the rescue services and thinks about the question of obedience and conscience will find a strong image here. The statue also suits a young man’s Confirmation, as well as a name day in autumn.

The Marcellus statue is made by hand, cut by cut, in Val Gardena, South Tyrol, and it is precisely the small differences that make each piece one of a kind.
