His head is slightly bowed, and he has long hair and a thick, slightly graying beard, indicating his advanced age. The saint wears a long tunic cinched at the waist with a belt, while a long cloak rests on his shoulders. In his left hand, he holds a wicker basket filled with cherries. The polychrome paint and the ancient gilding are missing; his right hand is missing. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
