About this work

This image shows a woman holding a small child. Both figures are made of metal with a shiny, hammered texture. The woman’s head is framed by a wide, fan-like halo with sharp rays. Her face and hands have a warm, gold tone, while the metal around them looks silver. The metalwork looks like it was shaped by hand, giving it a rough but deliberate look. This style was often used for religious images meant to be touched or carried. Next, look up the technique: repoussé.
