About the sculpture
A seemingly straightforward image of the Virgin Mary often contained a symbol pointing towards the future suffering of her son. In this case it is the goldfinch that Jesus holds. The finch was believed to eat thistles and thorns. This linked it to the Crown of Thorns placed on Christ's head.
Life-size statues of the Virgin and Child abounded in the 13th and 14th centuries. They were set in niches in private chapels, placed under canopies and displayed on the piers of great churches.
