Description
Mid-14th to early 15th century AD. A delicately carved (probably in Caen stone) Rheims full-length figurine of a robed and long-haired female saint (or the Virgin Mary?) holding and looking at an orb in her right hand; set upon a square integral base, the hands showing the typical long, slender and straight fingers of the Romanesque style. 2.9 Kg, 37 cm tall. Ex Christie's Sale 5023, 22 January 2006, Lot 76; ex the late Michael Collishaw Collection. This figurine is a good example of medieval ecclesiastical statuary and would probably have been set into a niche in a shrine.
Condition
Very fine, with a hanging attachment ring set into the back. Very rare.
