This anonymous polyptych, created before 1881, depicts the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus. The central figure is framed by a Gothic-style arch and flanked by four panels showcasing scenes from the Bible. This intricate artwork, measuring 336 mm by 227 mm, is a testament to the artistic skill of the anonymous artist who captured the solemnity of religious devotion. The delicate detail and the use of light and shadow in the sculpture evoke a sense of spirituality and awe. The polyptych, a type of artwork common in the Middle Ages, offered a visual guide to the narratives of the Bible, making it accessible to a wider audience.
