Woman of the Apocalypse

The relief of the Woman of the Apocalypse has been skilfully sculpted. Madonna is standing on the crescent moon with her body heavily bent, carrying the Infant Jesus, who is playing with a pear across her lap. There is a mandorla behind her. At her feet, on both sides, there are small angels floating in the cloud. Below on the left there is a small Tiburtine Sibyl, pointing at the Madonna for a seated Caesar Augustus; on the right, the knight Gideon kneels with his sheepskin. Made in Tallinn around 1425, the relief is from Uusikaupunki Church.
