About the sculpture
This statuette is made in the second half of the 15th century in Siegburg, Germany by an unknown artist.
It is made of pipeclay and repesents a draped standing figure of a female saint, her hands clasped in front, and wearing a wreath on her head.
Pipeclay is a fine white clay also 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 pipe-clay figures were also fired.
