Description
This seated saint was one of a group of sculptures placed on the archivolt (curved arch) of the door of a church. The black limestone comes from quarries near Tournai (Flanders) and was commonly used in churches throughout the Flemish and Mosan regions of present-day Belgium. The style of the figure, with its delicately carved face and thick, simple drapery, is characteristic of Mosan sculpture of this period.
