Polychromed wooden sculpture of Saint Martin, Southern Germany 16th century

A polychromed wooden sculpture of Saint Martin of Tours.

South German, early 16th century.

Measures 95cm in height.

The Saint stands raising the cloth of his cloak in his left hand, a sword would have been held in his right (now missing along with two fingers) and is dressed in fashionable knightly attire of the period in which the sculpture was made.

The sculpture relates to the best known story of Saint Martin who when a soldier in the Roman army used his sword to cut his cloak in two, giving half to a beggar clad only in rags in the depth of Winter.
