About the sculpture
This wooden statue was probably carved for an altarpiece. These are the ornamented, image-bearing blocks or panels that stand behind the altar in a Christian church.
The style and facial type of this warrior-saint offer clues to its origin. They are closely related to the sandstone monument of Johann of Bibra in the church of Bad Bibra in the Halle area of Saxony. The monument was designed by the German sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider (died 1531). However, the somewhat stiff carving of this figure suggests that it was executed by Riemenschneider’s workshop rather than the sculptor himself.
