Carved wooden sculptures with polychrome residue. Italy or Flanders. Gothic. 15th century.
The human figure may be a Saint George or a Saint Michael, but as the attributes are missing it is impossible to determine. Another option is that they formed part of a sculptural group, and that it was a knight on his steed.
Of great sculptural quality, clearly shown in the elaborate armour which has delicate details, the treatment that the artist has given the horse, the curls of the mane and the muscular body. There is polychrome residue in reddish and ochre tones.
76 x 88 x 40 cm.
