Beautiful antique statue of Saint Anthony of Padua, presented here with infant Jesus and in his left hand is a lily as a symbol of virginity. Despite its age, the statue is in good condition, it has obtained a beautiful patina over the years. Anthony, a contemporary of Francis of Assisi, is considered an important saint. He was canonised less than a year after his death in 1231. He is the patron saint of lost objects, women and children, bakers, miners, and more. The evening primrose is named after him because it flowers around his feast on 13 June. Please examine the pictures carefully, which are part of the description. Will be carefully packaged and shipped with track & trace.
