This statuette was evidently produced as a pendant to A58-1920. It was possibly made to replace a lost or heavily damaged figure for the altarpiece in which A58-1920 had probably been located, or was perhaps produced purely for the art market. It is highly likely that both A58-1920 and this statuette were made in the same workshop.

This statuette of an unidentified Warrior Saint is a typical product of the Gothic revival which took place in the late nineteenth century in Germany. It is broadly based on South German sculpture of the early sixteenth century. Significantly it is not painted since collectors in the second half of the nineteenth century preferred monochrome wood figures.
