Madonna

This tapestry “Madonna” shows the Virgin Mother seated on a throne, with the Christ child seated on her lap, holding flowers as if it were a scepter. While the Virgin and child have been depicted in various symbolic ways throughout history, this particular version, “Madonna”, is more about the reign of the Christ child being foretold. The throne and lavish palatial grounds symbolizes his role as the future King of Kings. The nimbus or halo above them, is symbolic of the fact that this reign in not with force, but is with divinity or holiness. This tapestry is lined and has a tunnel for easy hanging.
