Assumption of the Virgin, Beautiful Antique Folk Art Retablo on Tin ceramic flowers and turning locks to holdI believe it is the Assumption of the Virgin represented here, Mary ascending to Heaven, flanked by angels. And what a beatific Mary she is! With a wonderful halo of white star like flowers arching above her, and fantastic billowing blue drapery, wrapping her like a swirl of sea. With tomb below draped in white cloth and dotted with roses, and a couple of palm trees rising from the green landscape below, mountains in the distance. A beauty. 13 7 8" x
