Description from the seller
Image of a bottle holder of a patron saint, sword-carved from wood. Spanish, circa 1950-1960
The Apostle Paul: He is the most famous saint with a sword. The sword refers to his beheading in Rome, but also symbolizes the "sword of the Spirit" (the word of God). He is, among other things, the patron saint of workers, writers, and tentmakers.
Beautiful decorative vintage oak bottle holder, designed as an Apostle Paul. These figures are functional decorative items where the upper body or torso can be opened to place a bottle of wine or other drink inside.
