"description": "Both the Virgin and the Christ child are lavishly attired. Their mantle hems are engraved to create the illusion of being fur-lined, and turquoise enamel beads create \"pearl\"-studded decorative bands on the Virgin\u2019s wrist, knee, and crown and on Christ\u2019s collar. The similarity of their garments emphasizes the close relationship between the mother and child and their joint rule over the kingdom of heaven. Once part of a larger ensemble, this relief may have decorated an altar frontal, devotional tabernacle, or reliquary.",
