A Northern French or possibly Mosan polychrome painted limestone Sedes Sapientiae, probably 14th/early 15th century, the fragmentary, draped Virgin portrayed on a stylised throne and balancing the Christ Child, wearing a tunic, on her knees, on a rectangular section plinth with indistinct inscription, 36cm high overallThis frontal, formal portrayal of the Virgin with the Christ Child standing on her knees has its roots in Byzantine iconography. Statues of the Virgin seated on a Solomonic throne were part of French liturgical practice, and are often executed on a smaller scale so they could be moved and carried.The heavy folds of the draperies and incorporation of a low-backed chair shares similarities to examples from the Meuse valley, note for example Sotheby's London, 9 July 2015, lot 9 (in oak).For further reading on this iconographic type, mainly centred on wood sculpture though citing some examples in stone, please see I. H. Forsyth, Throne of Wisdom, Princeton University Press, 2019.Condition Report: Fragmentary, some losses to finish, old repairs.Plaster repair to rear of socle.Lacking heads.Condition Report Disclaimer
