About the sculpture
Statues of the Virgin and Child were invariably painted and sometimes inlaid with further decoration. Here, there are coloured and gilded glass medaillions around the edges of the draperies in imitation of costly enamels. The lower part of the Virgin's mantle was originally richly patterned with painted roundels. The canopy above emphasised the importance of the figure.
