Inside her mantle and covering the central part of her gown she wears a surcoat, ending in a tasselled cord which emerges from under her mantle between her feet. On her head she wears a veiled coif with wimple, which is edged at the back with tassels. Because she wears a veiled coif and wimple this figure does not represent the Virgin, but rather an older siant. Unfortunately because her hand have been broken off (and with them anything she might have been holding) she cannot be identitifed beyond dispute, however it seems possible that she represents St. Anne. Figures such as this were displayed in small tabernacle-shrine, often with painted wings.","physicalDescription":"The figure is seated on a cushion looking straight forward; she wears a long mantle which falls in elaborate symmetrical folds from the knees. The head and shoulders though not the face, have been recarved. On a hexagonal base. A few patches of the original paint and gilding on a bright red ground remain in the folds.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"limewood","id":"x42540"}],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Limewood","categories":[{"text":"Sculpture","id":"THES48896"},{"text":"Religion","id":"THES48900"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"SCP","id":"THES48600"},"images":["2025PL3131","2017JX3815","2017JX3930"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"002","id":"THES397753"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Statue","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"late 14th century - early 15th century","earliest":"1350-01-01","latest":"1450-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"64","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"63","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"33.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"base","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"27","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"base","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Given by Mr Cecil Spero.
