There are two statues at Magdeburg Cathedral that are supposed to be Saint Maurice

However

People of Color in European History website claims one of these staues as...

1. Statue of a Knight believed to be representative of Morien (Moriaen),
unknown artist, later brought to Magdenburg Dom and called Saint Maurice c. 1220

Morien (also spelled Moriaan, Moriaen) is a 13th-century Arthurian romance story in Middle Dutch. A 4,720-line version is preserved in the vast Lancelot-Compilatie, and a short fragment exists at the Royal Library at Brussels.The work tells the story of Morien, the Moorish son of Aglovale, one of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.


I'm not sure if anyone but the author of the People of Color website thinks that one of the Magdeburg St. Maurice statues is actually Morien but it seems unlikely to me that a statue of Morien would be placed in a church
and, I could be wrong, but that statues of Morien were even made


Nevertheless Saint Maurice died in the 3rd century and
Morien is fictional

Could be, however, they all look realistic.

I wonder more about how the artists got it so right.
