[QUOTE="seth77, post: 3515875, member: 56653"]I think it is similar to 11.20.2 and not sure it even is in DOC (or maybe similar to IV-21.2?). These are rather hard to pin down but the general type is Type U, described as Virgin orans half-length / Saint Paul by Metcalf or Saint Nicholas facing / Saint John the Baptist (holding something or maybe not) according to Grierson. Malloy et al describe both variations and assign them to the corresponding Type U by Hendy (Malloy 23-24, p. 328). There is also an interesting discussion about the dating of this type in the broader context of the similar reverse types: Archangel, Virgin orans to the right, Virgin orans facing, Peter and Paul embracing and finally this one, very likely John the Baptist as per Grierson. These types seem to have been minted in rather fast sequence. Similar, but in better shape spec here: [url]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2580056[/url][/QUOTE]
