Probably Flemish 15th century

A 15th century presumably Flemish marble Annunciation group.

The two figures carved three-quarters in the round, the reverse flattened. Minor remains of former polychromy. The Virgin is shown seated and facing right, holding an open prayer book in Her hands. The correspondingly carved angel Gabriel kneels before Her and holds a baderole above his knees.
The angel's wings lost, its left arm reattached. Wear with minor losses. The figures mounted facing each other on a marble plinth. The sculptures each 30 cm high.
