Abstract
Active in 1359-1360 on the marble pulpit for the ostension of the Holy Belt in the pieve of Prato, the Sienese stone carver Niccolò di Cecco del Mercia is, even today, a blurry figure, best known for his prolonged involvement in the construction of Siena cathedral. It is now possible to piece together his career in a more comprehensive way and identify some of the sculptures that were made in Siena cathedral in 1356. These are the starting points for identifying other stone carvings of his and attempting to better define his profile as a sculptor.
