The stone is worked with a serene, gently inclined expression, the deeply carved eyes and softly modelled features characteristic of Gothic ecclesiastical statuary of the period, when such heads formed part of larger figures set within church portals, tombs or retable niches. Fragments of this kind typically survive as the sole remnant of a full-length saint or apostle figure, the body lost to the depredations of time, iconoclasm, or 19th and 20th-century architectural clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eLater-mounted on a 20th-century marble, or similar hardstone, block, solid and of considerable weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance: \u003c\/strong\u003eSpain. 14th-15th-century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003ePlease refer to the images.
