About the sculpture
This statuette is made in the late 15th century in Germany by an unknown artist and
represents the Virgin Mary standing with the Infant Christ on her left arm.
It is made of pipeclay, which is a fine white clay used to make tobacco pipes and pottery. Conveniently situated on a major trading route, Siegburg was a centre of ceramic production with well-organised workshops and kilns in which also pipe-clay figures were fired.
