Monumental sculpture of one of the three archangels, Saint Michael, vanquisher of the devil and prince of the Angelic Host. He is depicted according to the most typical iconography, as a warrior wearing a breastplate and helmet, armed with a sword and a shield on which appear the initials of "Quis Sicut Deus" (Who is like God), particularly associated with this archangel.
He rests on a cloud, and at the same time on his original plinth.
197 x 132 x 82 cm.
