St. John the Baptist

Wood, polychrome
Church of St. John the Baptist, Furelos, Galicia, Spain

St. John the Baptist is identifed here by his camel-skin mantle, the lamb, and the cross. The lamb and words ecce agnus dei on the banderole refer to John 1:29, "Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world." Read more about images of St. John the Baptist.
