The Annunciation

myminifactory

This marble relief dramatically reenacts a pivotal moment from scripture - the Annunciation. On its left side stands an angel, confidently grasping a scepter in his outstretched hand. At the scene's center is a beautifully crafted shrine with intricately designed spiral columns, which are sheltered by a magnificent canopy. The Virgin Mary, standing to the right, rests her right hand upon her chest. A dove can be seen nestling beneath the shrine's protective covering.
