Elegant Virgin and Child called Sedes Sapientiae. Mary holds the Christ standing on her left knee. Oval face of the Virgin, framed by a diademed headdress. Our sculpture is distinguished by the position of the two figures, looking to the side and by the attitude of Christ and the graceful movement of his robe. The clothes, hairstyles and facial features direct us towards a Mosan production from the end of the 13th century with stylistic influences from the court of Saint Louis...
Bust of a saint in polychrome wood, hollow back. This bust can be compared to the reliquary busts of Saint Ursula and her companions known on the Middle Rhine in Cologne, as well as the opening virgins of the Upper Rhine. However, our sculpture retains the techniques in force in the 13th century, including the hollowed back, and a style different from the saints of the Middle Rhine. It must be placed in southern Germany in the 14th century...
Large polychrome wooden statue representing a holy bishop carrying a crosier and making the sign of blessing. The sculpture stands out for the simplicity of its forms, the rigid technique of straight lines and the design of the face still reminiscent of the Romanesque style. The plasticity of the face, the folds of the dress, the rigidity of the forms lead us to place this work at the beginning of the Gothic period, in the 13th century, with Romanesque influences still present in the expressions and the posture. Our sculpture shows traces of polychromy and gilding...

Important virgin with gothic child. A style still imbued with mysticism for this great virgin in limestone. Gilding and traces of polychromy. ..
Gothic sculpture sees a profusion and diversification of media. Still austere for the first Gothic art, statuary knows an explosion of Marian worship with series of virgins and children. Architectural works remain with capitals, corbels and columns. The Ekinium gallery offers a series of religious and secular works from the gothique period.
