Young woman's head (Esther?) crowned in limestone carved in a round hump on a square and moulded wooden base. This queen reflects the ideal of feminine beauty of the late Middle Ages: a perfectly oval face, a high, rounded forehead (accentuated by hair removal), almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose and a well defined mouth. Crown adorned with cabochons resting on a hair with long, slightly wavy strands.
15th century (wear and tear, spalling)
Head H: 30 cm (base 18 cm)
