An oak sculpture of Saint Catherine.
French, second half of the 16th century.
Measures 72cm high.
The saint is depicted in the same manner as the Virgin of Mercy in which the Virgin protects a group of people sheltering under the outspread cloak.
The figures under the cloak most likely represent the patrons of the sculpture, who are often members of Christian society, a family or the local population.
