This painted terracotta (baked clay) figure represents St Peter. It probably formed part of a cycle of Apostles (Jesus Christ's first followers) positioned high up on pilasters or piers. It may have been similar to an ensemble of terracotta figures preserved in the choir and aisles of St Martin's Church in Landshut, Bavaria, in southern Germany.
Terracotta sculpture flourished in Bavaria in the period 1400-1500, particularly in the Ducal cities of Straubing and Landshut. This terracotta figure was probably produced in a busy Landshut workshop. It seems likely that many were made, but only a few are known today.
