Enthroned Virgin and Child. Culture: Italian. Dimensions: Virgin and Child only: 64 1/4 × 35 × 14 3/4 in., 54 lb. (163.2 × 88.9 × 37.5 cm, 24.5 kg). Date: mid-14th century.The sculpture is created by pressing linen reinforced with glue into shallow molds and mounting the figure on a wood backing and adding paint and gilding. This work seems to be a unique surviving example of this technique. The Virgin is seated upon a throne displaying lion heads, a reference to the Throne of Solomon. Significantly, a number of votive offerings are incorporated into the interior of the figure: a pearl rosary and bobbin lace and other fabrics. The figure is said to have come from the convent of Santa Chiara in Vaglia, Tuscany, indicating that it was probably made for a Clarissan convent, a sister order following the Franciscan rule.

Christ is depicted as a plump young child with his hand raised in blessing. The pomegranate held by the child and the Virgin is a Christian symbol of the Resurrection, due to its classical association with Proserpine, the daughter of the corn goddess Ceres, who returned each spring to regenerate the earth. It also has associations with the Virgin's chastity., Wood, Sculpture, Religion, Saint, Religion, Virgin Mary, CarvedTESORO-VIRGEN DE LAS HUERTAS-ESCULTURA GOTICA. Location: CATEDRAL-INTERIOR.
