This sculpture captures the image of a revered saint, holding a sacred text, with his head encircled by a radiant halo symbolizing his divine status. Like many artifacts from its era, this statue is sculpted in a medallion shape reminiscent of those found in Gothic illuminations. During that time when literacy was scarce and reading was limited to the privileged few, intricate carvings and vibrant paintings in churches served as visual storytellers, bringing biblical tales to life for all devoted followers.
