- Lot Description
Western Europe, northern France, ca. 12th to 13th century CE. A hand-carved limestone relief stele of a rectangular form depicting Saint Paul the Apostle. Saint Paul stands within a recessed alcove and wears a flowing robe while holding a book in his right hand and the handle of a sword in his left. The book shown depicts the Bible with Paul's writings within, and the sword represents his martyrdom as he was beheaded in 67 CE. A wonderful example of Christian artistry! Size: 4.8" W x 10.25" H (12.2 cm x 26 cm)
Saint Paul the Apostle, also known as Saint Paul of Tarsus, is best known for spreading the gospel of Christ during the first century CE. Saint Paul traveled extensively for roughly two decades and founded multiple churches throughout Asia Minor and southern Europe. He was both a Jew and a Roman citizen, allowing him to speak with authority to both of these groups. Paul was also a prolific writer - fourteen of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament are attributed to him.
