Enthroned Virgin, first half 14th century, Made in Tuscany, Italy, Italian, Terracotta, Overall: 17 5/8 x 10 x 9 1/2 in. ( x x cm), Goro di Gregorio (Italian, Siena, active ca. 1300–1334), This work is a rare surviving example of medieval sculpture in terracotta—no other Italian examples from the period exist today.
