Saint bishop in terracotta 17th century Le Mans

Saint bishop wearing a high mitre decorated with fleurons, dressed in an alb, a lace surplice, a stole and a cope. Holding a closed book in his left hand. Remains of gilding a centerpiece marked by elegance and majesty some large pieces from this period are sometimes made and fired in two parts as here, due to the small size of the potters' kilns used for firing.
