A Swiss Black Forest hand carved wood study of a St Bernard Mountain rescue dog
About the Item
A Swiss Black Forest hand carved limewood study of a St Bernard Mountain rescue dog.
This very pleasing and beautifully hand carved small black forest lime wood study is of a seated St. Bernard Mountain rescue dog with a collar and small wooden brandy barrel around his neck.
These massive dogs with their thick warm coats were trained to go into the mountains and remote areas to find walkers and climbers lost or injured. They carried the barrel flask to help revive the unfortunate and were trained to bark to draw attention to the location to aid the rescue team.
This very pleasing study is in excellent condition with a lovely rich colour and patina.

He was one of the leaders of the first generation Christians and was often considered to be the most important person after Jesus in the history of Christianity. This highly accomplished wood carving is a difficult material for detailing English oak. It shows him standing barefoot and dressed in simple robes with a sword in one hand and a scroll in the other.
