This sculpture of Saint Peter as the First Pope originates from Catalonia, Spain, discovered in the Parish Church of Bellpuig, Lerida and was believed to have been carved before 1348. Identified by his papal tiara, the apostle Peter wears an ornately decorated ecclesiastic vestment (chasuble). The keys signifying his role as Guardian of the Gates to Heaven, which were given to him by Christ, are missing.
