Saint Catherine of Alexandria on its Louis XIV period pedestal

Saint Catherine of Alexandria in gilded and polychrome wood.
Fine and beautiful sculpture
The saint is represented standing holding a sword (blade gone); leaning against the exploded wheel of her torture.
The hairstyle and the drapery are characteristic of the period.
Its gilded wooden base is decorated with foliage, flowers and angels of the same period (a system allowed to solidarize the two pieces probably for processions)
Work from the south of France in the second half of the 17th century
height of the statue alone 65 cm
