Medina del Campo, Spain

It represents Saint Michael the Archangel as the winner of the devil and as a weigher of souls. He is a young man of great beauty, with blonde hair bound by a ribbon. He is dressed in armor from the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century. While his right hand of him wields a sword above his head about to strike the enemy, his left hand of him holds a scale with which he weighs souls to decide his prize (heaven) or his punishment of him (hell) according to his facts.
