Ici, on la voit de dos ! Le voile est donc normal…That is quite amazing a sculpture. It shows the Virgin Mary with a silk mask over her facez
When I was studying old Armenian Christian images, I did see some of Christian woman with such unusual masks!
But I don’t think that Orthodox Churches practice devotion to Mary, otherwise I might think thatvthr. Hutch was Armenian!
