Alabaster and Marble Bust of Saint Clare of Assisi

About the Item

This is an alabaster and marble bust of Saint Clare of Assisi. It depicts a young lady head/face covered with a cloak. She is looking down, very peacefully while she appears to be praying to God. There is a branch of olive that are adorning her front upper chest that is covered with her clothing. The bust is attached to a marble octagonal base. An olive branch was given to her at the age of seventeen on Palm Sunday by the bishop before she left her father’s house to follow Saint Francis and become a Benedictine nun. The olive branch symbolizes the welcome of God to her new life and the letting go of her past.

  • Antique Hand Carved Gilt Wooden Church Statue of Saint Francis & Clare of Assisi
    Located in Lisse, NL
    For the collectors of unique and remarkable works of religious art. About ten years ago I was fortunate enough to have been invited to Italy for a week. In that week we visited the St. Francis Basilica in Assisi, the place where the world famous Saint Francis was born and where he is buried. For these unique sculptures to have found their way to us, again felt like a blessing. These amazing workmanship and aesthetically pleasing saint statues, we feel, were not created for one person alone, they were made to be seen and appreciated by a larger community. Those who know about Saint Francis will probably know about Saint Clare...
