The typology of this Christ is typical of 14th-century production in the northern half of France. Several of these large Christs can be found in Brittany, with their lanky bodies, long perizonium with straight lateral falls, stiff legs and angular tibias, as in Plouëc-du-Trieuc (Côtes d'Armor), the church of Saint-Nicolas in Kerners-Arzon or Notre-Dame-de-Trescoët in Caudan (Morbihan).
