Olive Wood Statue of St. John the Baptist with the Lamb

This finely hand-carved olive wood sculpture portrays St. John the Baptist, the forerunner of Christ, depicted in a powerful and symbolic stance. Standing barefoot upon a rugged base, he holds a lamb—representing Christ as the “Lamb of God”—while a serpent lies beneath his feet, symbolizing the triumph over sin and evil.

The intricate detailing of the figure’s garments, hair, and expression reflects the ascetic life of the prophet in the wilderness. The natural grains of authentic Holy Land olive wood flow beautifully through the sculpture, making each piece entirely unique.

A meaningful spiritual piece, this statue is ideal for prayer corners, church settings, or as a distinctive gift rooted in biblical tradition and craftsmanship from the Holy Land.
