| Reverse description | The enthroned Madonna, crowned and nimbed, is depicted seated upon clouds, holding the Christ Child on her left arm as He raises His right hand in blessing. An elaborate mandorla of radiating rays encircles the group, emphasizing the celestial glory of the scene. The composition is executed in high relief in the devotional Baroque tradition, reflecting Maximilian I's profound Marian piety and his role as a champion of the Catholic Counter-Reformation. The circular Latin legend surrounds the entire design, reading from the upper left and continuing around the field. |
