Saint Sebastian (?)

This figure of a male saint must once have formed part of the central part (also known as corpus or shrine) of an altarpiece. Both his hands are later repleacements, but they may imitate the position of the original ones, and would probably have held the saint's attributes. The figure could, for example, have held an arrow and a palm-twig, like the figure of St Sebastian in an altarpiece of about 1515 in the chapel of Gossensass/Colle Isarco in the Tyrol.
