Statue of a warrior saint, probably Saint Theodore, from the west portal of the south transept of the Cathedral of Our Lady in Chartres (ca. 1230). Commissioned by the museum in 1909, the cast was made by August Gerber in Cologne. It was exhibited in the Romanesque Hall in 1910. Probably lost during World War II, current whereabouts of the artwork are unknown.
