Santiago Garden Statue

[Rambler]

I am looking for a garden statue of a pilgrim or Santiago that I can put in my yard as a remembrance of my Caminos. I remember seeing some small (2 foot) statues of rough stone when in Santiago, but cannot find anything on the Internet. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that I was taken by the small statues of Saint James the Pilgrim also. Then, right on the camino, I walked past a shop (on the left) selling them. One was on display in the window. I took some pictures of the shop and its business address. This was last year (2015).

The bad news - my SD card snapped before the end of the camino and I don't have a backup of those shots. I'm remembering that the shop was in Estella, I hope I'm right.

I like online search challenges and I tried to find something for you but I had no luck either. Perhaps there is something like a chamber of commerce in Estella that could help. Shipping must be quite expensive.

In Saint Jean Pied de Port at 36 rue d'Espagne is a small shop, Poterie Navarraise, selling rough handmade pottery. Amongst their handmade pieces are small, charming figures of Saint James. Here is their web with contact info and some photos.

Thanks everyone. We are looking for a good way to represent the Camino in our garden and I was hoping to find something. I agree, it may be very expensive.

Very nice Rick!!
Did you find that online? We have sculptors here in the US that use chainsaws to create statues in wood. I may try something like that...

Your best chance could be to find a locally (in your country) living artist and tell him/her, with help of photos, exactly what you want.
Buen Camino, SY

Thank you. It is my photo of a garden adjoining the camino somewhere shortly after Zubiri. It was open to view to all pilgrims passing. I just poked my camera lens through the fence.
