Saint Bavo
Limestone with traces of paint
North Netherlandish, possibly Utrecht
Carved and painted possibly about 1460

Accession # 22.60.4a

Saint Bavo (d. 657), patron saint of Ghent and Haarlem, is partially identified by his armor, sword, and rich clothing which indicate his aristocratic status. The "book bag" in his right hand was a popular late medieval accessory.
