Bust of a saint, possibly Saint Dorothea
- Niederschlesien, lime wood, around 1370, height: 30 cm
The bust probably decorated a reliquary for storing a relic of the head of Saint Dorothea. The saint was particularly revered in the Poor Clare Convent in Ribnitz. The bust originally formed part of a Marian altar.
