From the museum record

These figures of the Virgin and Saint John once formed part of a Crucifixion group that would have originally included a figure of Christ on the cross shown at center. Fortunately the original polychromy of the two figures has been preserved, affording the viewer a rare opportunity to appreciate a rich medieval decorative color pattern suggestive of some early textiles. Though they date to the 13th century, the two figures reflect a late 12th-century style.

Lupin’s visual index

A weathered, painted wooden statue depicts a solemn Virgin Mary with outstretched hands, characteristic of 13th-century religious sculpture.
