Popis: In this paper some items made in alabaster will be analyzed in order to review the iconography of the Apostle St. James the Greater. Most of these artworks have been kept in religious institutions or Spanish collections but they were made in England, during a period of splendor that took place from mid 14th century to the first decades of the 16th century. These pieces were made in a production line style, so they often repeat the same models, with very few differences. Even so, they are pieces of great beauty which were very appreciated by devotees and collectors in the past and still today.
