Богородица и Младенец {5515}
Virgin and Child
история:
The small size of this intricately carved ivory Madonna and Child indicates that it was probably intended for private devotion.
It was executed at a time when the Virgin's cult was reaching the height of its popularity, and she is fashionably dressed and crowned like a princess.
Gift of Mrs. Edsel B. Ford, in memory of W.R.Valentiner.

композиция:
The crown She wears identifies Her as the Queen of Heaven, and the rose She holds symbolizes Her purity as "a rose without thorns".
She cradles the Child in Her left arm, and he, in turn, holds a piece of fruit to signify his role as the "New Adam" who will redeem mankind from original sin.
