This 29 inch high statue is made of cold-cast bronze and then hand-painted highlights are added before firing.
Cold-Cast Bronze is a modern method of casting producing finely detailed sculptures in which the casting material is a resin mixed with powdered bronze. The finished sculpture has a surface which looks very similar to a traditionally cast bronze that runs a little lighter in color.
Like any bronze sculpture - it is durable enough for use anywhere - indoors or outdoors.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray and do thou, oh prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits that prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Saint Michael the Archangel is the patron saint of police, emergency medical technicians, and the military (especially Airborne Paratroopers). He is the defender against evil and the Evil One. Feast September 29.
From the Veronese collection of religious statuary. Made in China. Veronese production No. SR-74552.
