Saint Peter (?)

Austrian

Not on view

Although this sculpture does not hold the keys to heaven, which are commonly associated with Peter, the saint was typically represented in the Middle Ages as he is here, with a balding head, some white curly hair, and a beard. This figure may have been one of a series of the twelve apostles included in an altarpiece, perhaps the lower, predella section.
