Virgin or Holy Woman

French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 305

Although an inscription (partially damaged) decorates the lower front edge of the seat on which this figure rests, her identity remains uncertain. The technique of combining polished black marble with white marble inlay is found on tombs, altars, and other liturgical furnishings in The Netherlands and France.
