Raphael is sometimes shown holding a caught fish, this is a reference to the Book of Tobias where Raphael told him to catch a fish, and then he used it to heal Tobias’ eyes. He is the patron saint of travelers as he appeared disguised in human form as the travelling companion of Tobias, during the adventurous journey in the desert of Egypt. He is dressed with a gorgeous light blue gown with golden flowers and pink details. He is portrayed standing in a lovely white cloud wearing golden sandals. Silver painted wings and large fish adorn this magnificent colonial style saint. Notice the beautiful brown glass eyes and carefully carved hair details that give the piece a gorgeous look.
