Saint Michael the Archangel is found in the traditions of Judaism, Islam, Christianity and Catholicism. Under these he is referred to as Michael, Saint Michael and Michael, the Archangel and in the Eastern Orthodox as Michael the Taxiarch. Common to the variety of names is that Michael is a protector and fights against evil. This comes from the story that Michael led the band of angels who cast Lucifer from Heaven. This beautiful sculpture of Michael stands atop what appears to be a man with a ribbed spine but is in fact Lucifer in the process for turning into the Devil. Michael raises his mighty sword above in a gesture of domination of good over evil.
This sculpture although reminiscent of the Spanish colonial art is a 20th-century piece made in Peru. The artist is unknown. The face of Michael is radiant and beautiful and has flowing dark hair. This is one of three Archangel pieces, (a fourth is already in a collection), the other two available are Archangels Gabriel and Uriel.
