Grosser spätgotischer Figurenschrein mit thronender Madonna mit Kind - Height: 153 cm. Width: 67 cm. Depth: 30 cm. Probably North Germany, 15th century. Mary seated on a throne bench, with the beginnings of the side bolsters still recognizable. The upper part of her body erect, her face turned slightly to the left, framed by dark, wavy hair and a shawl draped over it, which falls down to her chest in tubular folds. The child lies in an accentuated diagonal, holding a white dove in one hand, while the other rests on the gilded sphere held by the mother. Both of these attributes are to be interpreted theologically: as the divine rule of the universe and the dove of the Holy Spirit. Compositionally, the slanting position of the child corresponds to the hem of the blue cloak running parallel to it, which underneath forms three pointed folds between the knees. The tips of the shoes emerge from beneath the bottom hem. The sculptor endeavored to give Mary's face a noble expression, with an inward gaze. The high forehead was seen as a courtly feature at the time of its creation. The high rectangular shrine probably did not originally belong here. It has an upper crenellated cornice, the opening spanned at the top by a gilded round arch, with carved semicircular small arches, tracery carving in the corners; corresponding carved tracery frieze in the plinth band. Rest. added (1401381) Large late gothic figure shrine with enthroned Madonna and child Height: 153 cm. Width: 67 cm. Depth: 30 cm. Probably North Germany, 15th century.
