Santa Catarina de Alexandria

early 15th century
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 306
A virgem e mártir Santa Catarina segura a roda em que, segundo a lenda, foi torturada. Bela, erudita e aristocrática, foi objeto de especial devoção na corte da França. Embora acredite-se que esta estatueta proceda de um convento em Clermont-Ferrand, o refinado esmalte sobre o ouro, o penteado da santa e a decoração com pedras preciosas sugerem que foi feita por ourives parisienses. É possível que tenha sido parte de um relicário de um conjunto arquitetônico com outras estátuas de santos.
