About this piece
What it shows
Mary is shown as Queen of Heaven, holding the Child, who carries the orb of the world. The letters ΜΡ ΘΥ beside her halo abbreviate Μήτηρ Θεοῦ, Mother of God, the title the Church gave her at Ephesus in 431.
How it is made
The crowns and the borders of the robes are picked out in gold over a deep red ground, and the panel's carved, irregular edges frame the figures like the mouth of a grotto.
