The central theme of this section is the Holy Kinship (Sancta Proles), depicting the extended family of the Virgin Mary, a subject that was extremely popular in Northern Europe during the late 15th century. The figures are carved from wood, painted, and gilded, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of Hermen Rode's workshop. Estonia
