Sculpture
The Inkpot Madonna is a late-Gothic sculpture of Mary in the Hildesheim Cathedral, a building on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list since 1985, which is consecrated to the Assumption of Mary. The coloured life-size wooden statue was created around 1430, probably in Lower Saxony, and has the hallmarks of the international Gothic style: a tender face, loose posture and flowing drapery.
