Dating from about 1500, this large and beautifully carved oak figure was probably one of a pair of angels holding candles as part of an altarpiece. The treatment of the hair is particularly fine and it is likely that it was carved in the Burgundian Netherlands which are now a part of Northern France. Apart from the loss of the hands, it is in wonderful condition. It stands 26 inches high including the later plinth.
