This statuette is made in the second half of the 15th century in Germany by and unknown artist.
The group shows a young man and woman in the costume of the period, standing and holding a wreath between them.
It is made of pipeclay, which is a fine white clay also used to make tobacco pipes and pottery. Conveniently situated on a major trading route, Siegburg was a centre of ceramic production with well-organised workshops and kilns in which also pipe-clay figures were fired.
