Description

A carved wooden figure without visible wings, facing forwards and holding a large shield against its lower body with both hands. It wears a broad, elaborately folded headdress and a loose garment with a prominent collar, deeply carved folds and wide sleeves. The fingers curl around the sides of the shield, which tapers to a rounded point. Small rounded and curled carvings occupy the space beneath it.

Condition

The figure retains its overall form, with the clothing folds and individual fingers clearly distinguishable. The face is heavily worn, leaving only faint traces of its features. The surface has a patchy brown and pale appearance, with extensive loss of the painted finish. The shield survives, but no recognisable heraldic design is visible. There are small chips and losses around the headdress and lower carving.
