Our Lady with Child, (1900-1914). Madonna and Child, a metalwork 'relief' (reboiled, repoussé, chiseled and gilded). It is probably the finial of an 18th-century church banner. The Virgin Mary holding the Child is depicted in a seated, 'throned' pose, supported by clouds. Below these is a crescent moon of forged sheet metal on a wooden core, a symbol of the Immaculate Conception. Unknown photographer.
