Romanesque Sculpture Sedes Sapientiae, 12th C.
Romanesque sculpture of a seated Virgin Mary and Child in Majesty (Sedes Sapientiae - Seat of Wisdom). Mary holds her arms outstretched, which reinforces the image of a throne. Mary is wearing a crown. Made in Germany, Rhineland Region. Hand carved in wood in the 12th century. The elongated face of the Virgin, the shape of her mouth and the narrow shoulders places this sculpture probably in the region of Cologne, Rhineland in Germany.
