The sculpture still displays late Romanesque facial features, while the drapery already indicates a somewhat later origin - which is not unusual for Austrian regions in the Middle Ages.

A sculpture of Mary with child, from the same region in the Johanneum, Graz, bears a very similar head-scarf and crown and is dated ca. 1330/40.
