O soše
Turquoise enamel imitates pearls on Enthroned Virgin and Child, a relief of 1225–50 in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. The beads decorate Mary's wrist, knee and crown, and Christ's collar. Engraving along their mantle edges suggests fur linings. Similar clothing links mother and son and conveys their shared sovereignty in heaven. The relief originally belonged to a larger structure, although its exact setting is uncertain. It may have adorned the front of an altar, a tabernacle used in devotion, or a reliquary. On view in room 106C.
Slovy muzea
Both the Virgin and the Christ child are lavishly attired. Their mantle hems are engraved to create the illusion of being fur-lined, and turquoise enamel beads create "pearl"-studded decorative bands on the Virgin’s wrist, knee, and crown and on Christ’s collar. The similarity of their garments emphasizes the close relationship between the mother and child and their joint rule over the kingdom of heaven. Once part of a larger ensemble, this relief may have decorated an altar frontal, devotional tabernacle, or reliquary.
