A richly detailed 17th century carved wooden bas relief panel, depicting a biblical or allegorical scene rendered in deep relief. The composition features a central robed figure—possibly a prophet or saint—gesturing toward a smaller attendant, framed by architectural elements and stylized foliage. The carving is bold and expressive, with strong linear detailing and a sculptural sense of depth that evokes Northern European ecclesiastical craftsmanship.
