A Northern French oak figure of the Virgin with Child, circa 1380. Carved three quarters in the round, the reverse flattened, very minor remains of an older polychromy. A standing full-figure depiction of the Virgin in a girded robe, a long cloak and a crown above a veil. The Virgin holds the blessing infant Christ in her left arm, and presumably originally held a sceptre in her right.
