Saint John Evangelist Gothic Statue Figure, 16th Century

Description
A hand carved wooden statue of Saint John the Evangelist crafted in the last echoes of the Gothic style of the early 16th Century. Germany or Belgium. (Holy Roman Empire)
Unique folkloric work made for a chapel or small Church, the serious contemplating semblance of the pose matches gracefully the rigid and sober expression of rural religious life before the renaissance impregnates all aspects of life where praise to God and piety is paramount.
Is missing the right hand which normally would be pointing to the gospel of saint John which he is himself is holding in his left hand.
Overall, we can feel the mystic aura it coveys and all the adoration that has witnesses is the last 500 years.
