This antropomorphous statuette was dug up near the bridge and is made of white pipe clay. The figurines were made by pressing clay into a two-piece mould and by firing it after the body had been dried and finished. Craftsmen specialised in the production of such items were called beeldedrucker or heyligenbacker, which literally translates to image pressers or saint bakers. The main production sites were located in Cologne and Utrecht. This type of figurines is known to have been made in monasteries and convents as well. The most commonly depicted characters include the Virgin Mary, Christ as a child and the saints Barbara and Catherine, who were believed to act as mediators between God and man. The figurine has only been preserved fragmentarily: head, feet and right hand are missing. This most probably is a depiction of the Virgin Mary and Child. Mary's right arm is lifted and holds the Child. The left hand possibly holds a cloth.
