A Pair of Austrian Boxwood Figures of Saint John the Evangelist and Saint John the Baptist, Late 17th Century

the bearded figure of St. John the Baptist with a tattered animal skin about his waist, gesturing with his left hand toward the lamb beside his right foot, probably once with a staff in his right hand, now lacking, the figure of St. John the Evangelist with an elaborately rippling robe, holding his Gospel in his left hand, with an eagle beside his left foot, each on an elaborate contemporary separately carved trefoil base.
