Flemish 2nd half 15th century

Two Flemish bronze figures of the Virgin, second half 15th century

Cast bronze with old patina. Two identical small statuettes cast from the same mould, both apparently lacking the separately cast figure of the Christ Child. The pieces are accompanied by a presumably original cast canopy and a later quatrefoil plaque depicting a lion as the symbol of Mark the Evangelist.
Some wear throughout. Mounted separately on two velvet covered wooden panels. Height of each 12.2 cm.
