[Gocamino] 16th Century Figure of St James

[William Marques]

Here is something for the seriously well funded member of the Group.
There is a fascinating sale of Early European Sculpture, Furniture etc.
at Sotheby’s in London on Thursday.  One item is a sculpture of St James
(see below).  A bit out of my league I’m afraid.
