I personally think that the statue you are looking to buy makes St. Michael look like a hunchback and the head of the dragon is way too big, plus that script that is on the sword could be occult, so I wouldn’t personally buy this statue.

On Amazon there is a vendor called StealStreet that has a wide selection of Archangel statues that I like very much and are at half the price. My favorite Archangel Michael statue from StealStreet is the 12 inch high one. I like how St. Michael is bigger and stronger looking with satan cowering beneath him.

Here it is…and at $34.99 a great price

Paranoid much? Is knowing not better than thinking anymore?

The statue in the first post is amazing. It comes down to stylistic preference.

I don’t appreciate your sarcastic insults. And I said that the script “could be” occult, I didn’t say it “was”…

Thanks for your charity. :rolleyes:

God bless

Hence my response – why would you avoid because of a potentiality, one that has a definite answer (i.e., is verifiable)? What does “occult script” even mean?
 
It doesn’t look like any real “angelic Script” or runes…just fancy decoration, though in bad taste considering the subject. JFYI.
 
Having been caught up with those that practiced occult…

I don’t like to use the word ‘intuative’ but the first one has something about it that doesn’t ‘feel’ quite right to me…

It could simply that the person who designed it may be too "new age’ or worse caught up in something… I can’t put my finger on it but it doesn’t sit well… Emphasis as another poster put it was on the ‘Goat’ or whatever it is… rather than St Michael…

And what is that anyway on the breast plate above the cross coming out of his heart area…!! Looks like a serpent to me and can be open to all sorts of interpretations… I wonder which on the artist meant by it…

The others are simply wonderful… Especially MS_SURVEYOR’s

Either way, get it blessed… 🙂

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Better.

The first one looks too dour and abnormally large and muscular. It reminds me of one of those perpetually angry fighting characters in the cartoons geared toward eleven year old boys. I wouldn’t be so sour-puss if I had just cut off the head of the dragon. I’d be like 👍-Tim-

I think you’ve nailed it… In the first statue he looks despondant… rather than 👍

still don’t get that snake thing above the cross on his shield on the original… !!

Love the statue you posted Timothy

I think it’s the face of a lion, surrounded by its mane. If this is the case, I presume that the artist was thinking of Christ’s title of “the Lion of Judah”. C.S. Lewis, of course, was thinking of this same title when he symbolically represented Christ as a lion in the Chronicles of Narnia, and this may have influenced the artist’s decision to use it as well. Some of the characters in the second Narnia movie had lion images on their tabards, although depicted differently than what is seen on the St. Michael statue:

This statue is very nice! Funny, just awhile ago I was searching for St. Michael images that I could print out and place on my office desk and at home.

I used to have a Saint Michael picture on my office desk, but one day I came in the office, I noticed it was gone. :confused:

If you copy the picture, bring it up in a viewer, zoom in, it’s the face of a lion, surrounded by its mane. Not a serpent.
 
for me the image you posted seems wrong…

its liberal and seems demonic. never seen a St. Michael image like that. my first impression was disgusts and reminded me of the liberal reformation … so bad
 
We know of course that any statues of St Michael are not right or true.
St Michael is pure spirit.“He” has no physical form. Angels do not.
The wings and forms are only given by human imagination.
Any ‘form’ that any pure spirit like an angel or archangel may appear to take is only an appearance that suits our human needs for what is visual and physical.
