PRESUMABLY SPAIN Title: Two Large Silver Figurines of Bishops. Date: 19th century Material: Silver on a wooden body. Dimensions: Height 45.5 cm or 46.5 cm. Markings: No visible marks. Description: The two fully sculpted standing figures, each on a square plinth. One of the bishops has his right hand raised in a gesture of blessing and holds a bishop’s crozier in his left hand.

The figurines shown here were probably originally part of an altar ensemble, of which there are numerous examples in Spain. Similar figurines can be found, for example, in Toledo Cathedral.
