Document source description
This plaque, which may have formed the central panel of a triptych, shows the Virgin standing in an elegant pose with her weight on one leg, perhaps inspired by the Classical tradition. This portrait type of the Virgin, who holds the Christ Child in her right arm while grasping his leg with her left hand, is called "Dexiokratousa" (Greek for "holding with her right hand").
