St. Michael the Archangel
Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Ragusa, Sicily
This is mostly the canonical representation of St. Michael. He holds a sword and is dressed in the military boots, skirt, breastplate, and helmet of a Roman soldier. The military standard in his left hand is also traditional. Two exceptions from the usual are the "IHS" on the banner and the absence of a figure of Satan beneath his feet.
