Carved in the round.
Provenance
Formerly in Albarracín cathedral (in 1909-1910) and stated by Cabré as belonging to the bishop's palace of Albarracín. Estella Marcos notes that the 1974 inventory states that the property of the town was taken apart in 1936, without mentioning the crozier which must have been lost (S. Sebastián et al., Inventario artístico de Teruel y su provincia (Madrid, 1974), p. 436).
