Description: ANTIQUE 16" HAND CARVED WOOD MINERS PATRON SAINT BARBARA STATUE SCULPTURE FIGURE This statue represents Saint Barbara, a Christian martyr and one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. Saint Barbara is traditionally depicted with specific symbols that highlight her story and martyrdom. In this statue, she is shown holding a tower, one of her most recognized attributes, which symbolizes the place where she was imprisoned by her father to keep her isolated from the world. The tower also serves as a symbol of her faith, as she had a third window added to the tower to represent the Holy Trinity. Saint Barbara is dressed in flowing, regal attire, which emphasizes her noble birth and status before her conversion to Christianity. Her serene expression reflects her steadfast faith and courage in the face of persecution. At her feet, you may notice a small object resembling a chalice or crown, which could symbolize her Christian victory over death and her eventual sainthood. This representation captures Saint Barbara’s association with protection against sudden death, especially for artillerymen and miners. Her connection to such professions stems from the legend of her father being struck by lightning after he executed her for her faith, making her a protector against explosions and sudden danger.
