Important bas-relief in carved wood with traces of gilding, in an architectural frame with two cherubs in the spandrels, representing Saint Roch.
Considered, among other things, as the patron saint of dogs because a legend says that one of them licked his wounds and brought him bread when he suffered from the plague, removed as he was from any dwelling.
Originally from Montpellier where he was born in the 14th century, he had the opportunity during his life to use his knowledge as a former medical student and his thaumaturgic skills to help the poor and the sick.
Beautiful polychromy and needle gilding.
The whole needs a thorough cleaning
