Late medieval relief. Limestone. It represents two saints, possibly Saint Peter and Saint Paul. Enjoying devotion among fishermen and sailors, it is an example of local craftsmanship from the late 13th or early 14th century, probably under Sicilian influence. The relief is thought to have been found in 1908 in Xlendi (Island of Gozo, Malta), where it may have formed part of a church or chapel that no longer exists. Detail. Gozo Museum of Archaeology. Cittadela of Victoria in Gozo. Malta.
