Tyrolean Pine Wood Figure of a Female Saint, 16th Century
A carved pine wood figure of a veiled female saint, standing one hand raised to her chest and the other holding a book. The figure displays characteristic late-Gothic Tyroeon or Alpine features, including the elongated proportions, deeply folded drapery, and serene, introspective expression.
