St Peter the Apostle
The keys of the kingdom, given to him at Caesarea Philippi.
About this statue
Simon the fisherman of Galilee was renamed Peter, “the rock”, and given the keys of the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 16). He led the apostles after Pentecost and, by tradition, was crucified in Rome. His feast, with St Paul, falls on 29 June.
Here he holds the keys in one hand and a scroll against his chest.
This is one of the twelve 11-foot apostles made for the facade of the Gunadala Matha Shrine, Vijayawada.
Materials, sizes and delivery
- Sizes
- From 3 feet upwards, made to order. Some designs start at 4 feet, so please ask us to confirm.
- Material
- Fibreglass (FRP), sculpted and painted by hand in our studio in Mangalore.
- Colours
- Any statue can be made in any colour, for indoors or outdoors: in a natural finish (in colour) or a stone finish (one colour, such as white or marble).
- Outdoors
- For gardens and grottos we suggest a stone finish. It is easier to look after, and stays fresh for longer through sun and monsoon.

- Every statue is made from scratch. We give a timeline with the quotation, and orders are taken first come, first served.
- Delivery
- Collect it from the studio, or we send it by road anywhere in India. Outside India, ask us about delivery.
