Scrolled clouds in matching bronze rest on a round black marble base with white veining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Lost wax bronze with marble base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 19 in H x 7 in W x 9 in L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: Saint Michael the Archangel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollection: Christianity, Angels and Crosses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Number: 7935\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is the Archangel Michael?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichael is one of the archangels. His name means Who is like God? That question is the battle cry of the Army of God. The word angel describes a heavenly spirit who delivers messages from God. Archangel marks a messenger of great importance. Devotional writings about Michael appear in Christian, Jewish, and Muslim cultures. Jewish tradition names him the guardian angel of Israel. He has led God's army against the forces of the great dragon. An old tradition also says he concealed the tomb of Moses. This kept the people from the sin of hero worship, which Satan hoped to encourage. Each \u003cstrong\u003eSaint Michael statue\u003c\/strong\u003e continues the long tradition of showing him as a protector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLost Wax Bronze Casting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003ebronze angel statue\u003c\/strong\u003e is cast by the lost wax method, a technique used for centuries.

The marble base gives the bronze a solid footing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDisplaying the Saint Michael Statue\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 19 in H, this \u003cstrong\u003earchangel Michael bronze statue\u003c\/strong\u003e suits a console table, mantel, or bookshelf.
