Size
How is the size of standing figures measured?
Standing wooden figures are always measured from the floor to the head / highest point.
For figures like the Saint Florian (bottom in the picture on the right) who for e.g. has a lance, or other objects that are higher than the head, the height measure is e.g. for the lance usually also given in brackets.
Example:
A = height of the figure from foot / base to head
B = height to rod / lance / ...
St. Florian 30 cm (36) or 30 (36) cm.
