This is the German ‘Altar of the Holy Kinship’. The Holy Kinship refers to Jesus’s extended family from his maternal grandmother, St. Anne. All of the figures in the scene have light skin. The center panel of this horizontal polychrome and gilded wood piece depicts a child being held by light-skinned two female figures. The women hold him up by his arms and he has one foot on the lap of each of them. The women are dressed in gold, red and blue flowing robes. The one on our left is wearing a white religious habit. Below the trio is a nude child seated next to another small figure with curly, brown, shoulder length hair dressed in gold and red robes. Women are depicted on each side, each holding a child on their laps with a male figure kneeling beside them. The one on the left is nursing the child. Above the central scene is a line of six male figures in fancy roles. Some are bearded and wear gold linked jewelry around their chests. Above them is a gold background and an ornate carved gold scroll across the top. There is a small bust above them, slightly hidden by the scroll work. The two side panels are divided into two. Each section holds a depiction of a seated female wearing a crown and dressed in gold, green and red robes. The four figures are seated in front of a gold background and have delicate gold carved archways above. The woman to our upper left is holding a sword and a book. The woman to our lower left is holding an open book. The woman to our upper right is holding a golden chalice and has a tower next to her. The woman in the lower right is holding a book and a basket. There is a child holding the bottom of the basket next to her. The narrow frame is delicately etched with gold foliage.
