Spanish, 13th/ 14th century

The hands and feet of the figure are distressed due to worming with several lost and loose sections. Othewise there is warming throughout, particularly to the reverse. The paint is worn and cracked but stable due to the sections of linen making up the ground. There is naturally occurring splitting, including down the front of the torso and to the proper right side of the head. The arms are slightly loose at the joints at the shoulders, which are visible. Otherwise the condition of the figure is stable.
