Description
This sculpture faces an unknown double-faced saint depicted holding her hand in a prayer.
This Janus-faced reliquary was intended to be seen from many angles. It may have been carried in processions or places in the gallery of a church to look at the congregation in the nave below and at people in second-story side aisles. Relics were kept in the cavity in its abdomen and could be seen through the carved tracery.
