A carved limestone panel of St Martin of Tours will feature in Lyon & Turnbull’s sale of furniture and works of art in Edinburgh on July 5.
The depiction of the saint, who was a French soldier in the 4th century, was a popular subject for religious devotional items during the medieval period. Dating to circa the 14th-15th century, this 14 x 15in (35 x 38cm) panel shows the saint cutting his cloak in two and handing a beggar half of it.
