Enthroned Virgin, first half 14th century, Made in Tuscany, Italy, Italian, Terracotta, Overall: 17 5/8 x 10 x 9 1/2 in. (44.8 x 25.4 x 24.1 cm), Goro di Gregorio (Italian, Siena, active ca. 1300–1334), This work is a rare surviving example of medieval sculpture in terracotta—no other Italian examples from the period exist today. The sketchiness of the modeling and the omission of figure of the Christ Child, among other details, suggest that the sculpture was most likely created as a workshop model rather than as a finished piece
