Madonna and the 5 angels

Central Figures: The Virgin Mary is depicted with a solemn, elongated face and heavy lidded eyes, characteristic of the Byzantine influence. She wears a dark blue mantle over a gold-striated robe. The Christ Child sits on her lap, dressed in a white tunic and orange wrap, reaching up to touch his mother’s veil.

The Throne and Drapery: Mary sits upon a carved wooden throne, backed by a rich, patterned red and gold textile held up by angels. This "cloth of honor" creates a sense of sacred space and depth.

Angels: Five angels surround the central figures—one at the top center and four peeking out from behind the drapery on the sides. Their smaller scale relative to Mary is an example of hieratic scale, where the size of a figure denotes their spiritual importance.
