St. Anne Holding the Virgin with Christ Child
This delicate limestone carving depicts St. Anne holding the Virgin with the Christ Child. On the left are St. John the Divine (Evangelist) and on the right, St. John the Baptist. Presumably it was from the frame of a door inside an ecclesiastical building.
