Summary:
Full-length stylized figure of Saint Patrick. He is bearded and wears a long robe, miter, and sandals. A snake is curled around his legs and sticks out between his feet. He stands stiffly staring straight ahead with arms held tightly to his sides and bent up at the elbow. Proper right hand gives the sign of blessing.
