Statue
of St Olaf, 14th-century - SMC254
Two
statues of St Olaf and St Magnus were found during the early
20th century restoration of St Magnus Cathedral. They are
now displayed in The Orkney Museum, Tankerness House, Kirkwall.
The statue probably dates for the early 14th century. It shows
him dressed and crowned as a king. He is also depicted as
carrying a spear or staff.
A modern wooden statue of St Olaf is in the north choir aisle
of St Magnus Cathedral.
