About this piece
What it shows
“Hail, full of grace.” The angel Gabriel arrives in Nazareth and Mary, kneeling, gives her answer. The carver has set the two figures so close that the angel's wings almost enclose her, making a small sanctuary around the moment the Incarnation begins.
How it is made
Two figures are carved from one block, with deep undercutting between the angel's wing and Mary's veil. The base is left with its natural grain showing and carries an engraved plate reading “Annunciation”.
