Elisabeth of Thuringia is a saint of the Catholic Church. She was a Hungarian princess and German landgravine. In Germany, she was sometimes considered a "national saint". Her feast day is November 17 in the Catholic Church.
St. Elizabeth is usually depicted with a jug and a loaf of bread in her hand. This depiction comes from the fact that she helped many poor people during her time as Landgravine of Thuringia.
For example, she gave away her jewelry and personally cared for leper children. She also helped at the funerals by washing the deceased. Often it is also depicted with a beggar.
In this depiction, Elizabeth is depicted in a more traditional way. This can be seen especially in their clothing and headgear. The dress features an eye-catching drapery. A beggar kneels at her feet.
He has reached out for the loaf of bread that Elizabeth holds out to him. In her other hand she holds a jug. Her gaze is straight ahead.
St. Elizabeth is made in a South Tyrolean wood carving. You can choose between three different sizes and choose three different finishes. These are natural wood, tricolor stained wood and painted wood.
The type of wood used is either sycamore or lime wood. The figure in 40 cm is made of sycamore maple and the figure in 60 cm and 100 cm is made of lime wood. The figure is painted by hand by our artists. Oil paints are used in the process.
