Description
This relief depicts the Virgin holding the Child surrounded by four angels.
Three angels between them hold a censer or incense burner, a flaming torch and a crown, while a fourth has given a scroll to the Christ child to read. At the foot of the steps on which they kneel is a prominent carved signature, ‘OPUS MINI’ (‘the work of Mino’).
This relief may originally have formed part of a larger structure which would have made the setting more intelligible and scale of the signature more appropriate.
