Saint Patrick stands, with green eyes and a brown beard. He wears a cloak lined and edged in gold, with a soft stole edged in green edged with creamy white. His amice is creamy white and belted in gold, and between the amice and cloak is a robe of purple edged in black. The crown of his miter is creamy white, band in gold around the head. There are two strips of creamy white cloth down the upper back of Saint Patrick's cloak, attached from the miter. Saint Patrick holds up a gold cross with green crosses embedded in it in his proper right hand. In his proper left hand he carries a red Bible with gold crosses on the cover. Over his front proper left shoulder is a shepherd's staff which crosses his body and rests by his feet. The figure is carved from a tree trunk.
