Description
This is a sculpture depicting St Bartholomew, one of the 12 apostles, followers of Christ. According to legend, he was flayed alive, so he is often shown holding a knife, the instrument of his martyrdom. This figure may have adorned an altar or been joined by the other apostles, perhaps in niches.
