Here is a detail of a work now in Boston dating to about 1340 by Barna da Siena, The Mystical Marriage of St. Catherine. At the bottom, there are depicted a few saints, including this lovely rendering of St. Margaret beating the Devil with a hammer.

Confession’s on my agenda for the evening, so I’ll keep that image in mind while I wait in line. :-)
