Usually depicted as an abbot holding chains, fetters or locks, or manacles and is the Patron Saint of political prisoners, imprisoned people, prisoners of war, and captives, women in labour, as well as horses.
Wear and losses commensurate to the age. Fixed between oak poles each tipped with painted finials. The top pole has a fabulous red and white striped pattern to it.
