介绍（中）	这尊珠光宝气的小雕像中描绘的圣凯瑟琳，被认为体现了基督教博学的力量。根据传说，圣凯瑟琳代表基督教的学术论证不仅使异教徒皇帝马森提乌斯的宫廷哲学家皈依，还使200名守护士兵和统治者的妻子皈依。作为报复，所有人都被处死。画面中，这位贤惠的圣人手持钉轮，在被斩首之前，她曾被折磨在钉轮上。尽管这尊雕像据说来自克莱蒙费朗的一座修道院，但其精细的工艺、敏感的造型和珍贵的宝石镶嵌装饰与巴黎生产的最好的作品相一致。这幅图像可能来自一个圣物箱，在那里它和其他圣人的雕像会被整合成一个建筑群。
介绍（英）	Saint Catherine, depicted in the delicately jeweled statuette, was seen to embody the power of Christian erudition. According to legend, Saint Catherine's learned arguments on behalf of Christianity converted not only the court philosophers of the pagan emperor Maxentius, but 200 guardian soldiers and the ruler's wife as well. In retribution, all were put to death. The virtuous saint is shown holding the spiked wheel upon which she was tortured before being decapitated. Though the statue is reputed to have come from a convent in Clermont-Ferrand, the fine workmanship, sensitive modeling, and precious gem-studded decoration are consistent with the finest works produced in Paris. The image may have come from a reliquary, where it and figures of other saints would have been integrated into an architectural ensemble.
