Description

This statue of Saint David, the Patron Saint of Wales stands 60cm high and is depicted with historical accuracy. Davies created this statue following extensive and thorough research into the life of the 6th Century Saint. Every element depicted from his miter and stole to the crozier is as historically accurate as the scholarly community's current knowledge of Welsh history allows. Moreover, Davies ventures a step further where he shows him at 60years old with subtle evidence of arthritis in his fingers. The artist wanted to offer a true representation of life in 6th Century Wales which would have been undoubtedly hard. Standing with his crozier in his left hand he reaches out to greet with his right, offering hope, kindness and positivity, evoking a sense of wellbeing and spiritual inner peace. Modelled here in plaster the statue is to be cast in bronze and mounted on a bronze base. This statue is also available to be cast in bronze at three quarter life-size (150cm high) £45,000
