DescriptionThis carved figure with tonsured and slightly bowed head holds a book. It has an intentional hole indicating a missing piece. The same may be said for the clasped hand with a perfectly round hole. The saint's cowl and robe are of a dark blue color with gilded design applied. There is also a hole in the head perhaps for a halo.
