This painted wood German statue from 1440-1450 shows the Virgin kneeling on a carved prie dieu, or prayer desk, beside which a taller, difficult to distinguish figure arises, possibly Archangel Gabriel. The Virgin looks downward over her right shoulder, forearm, and open hand raised in front of her chest. Her left forearm and hand rest on an open book on the top of the prie dieu. She wears a goldfish-brown cloak over her head which falls to the floor covering her shoulders, most of her arms, back and feet, the two sides fastened with a hexagonal-shaped fastener on her chest. Her long, straight undergarment peers out beneath her cloak and down her front, although it is not clear if its pink shade is a contrasting wood or has been painted. Her face is full, hair visible above her forehead, and her eyes and mouth are shut. The L-shaped prie dieu upon which she kneels has a plain base and on the lateral, vertical sides two levels of carved twin arches recessed within frames. The figure next to the Virgin is enigmatic. It has a large rounded sphere, possibly a head at the top, although a curious knob projects from the top left and no facial features are apparent. After an indentation, possibly a neck, folds of fabric fall and are largely obscured by the prie dieu. What might be be a raised closed fist and fingers are held in front of this unknown figure.
