Pair of 5ft5inch tall 16th century Carved Bishops

These are a truly special piece of early Religious art. These are a pair of 16th century carved wooden bishops from the Picardy region in France. These stand a very impressive 5ft 5inches tall and are extremely well carved. The decoration is beautifully done and what makes these even more special is the huge amount of original gesso paint still present on both. The bishops are one of the finest examples of carved Religious art I have had the pleasure to own.

These are both solid wood and very heavy but they do free stand or can be hung with the metal loop on their back.
