This leaf represents a type of devotional image that originated and became especially popular in German-speaking lands in the late Middle Ages. Meant to be used in private prayer, these images were typically produced by nuns for their own use and to be distributed to the devout. Consequently, they are commonly called Nonnenarbeiten, the German word for 'nuns' work'.
