    You are quite the traveler! What an interesting piece of art-those heads serving as a border are ‘different’! But I love the image and also find myself getting fixed on the background swirls too. What a visual feast!

    This is a joyful piece!
    I always wondered why they called Gabriel a handmaid and then the patriarchal church tried to insist the Angel was male. But maybe i am ultra-sensitive…things I just thought about while I was bored during mass when I was a kid.

    Yes, Lisa — she’s the Angel Gabrielle. And this tile work is fabulous, not only for its depiction of Our Lady, but for the little three-dimensional figures of cherubs bordering the tile work.
