The Virgin and Child with two Saints
Maker: Unknown (Probably)
Maiolica panel of the Virgin and Child with two Saints, painted in polychrome.
Pale buff earthenware, tin-glazed overall except the lower edge, near which the glaze has crawled. Painted in blue, yellow, and orange, with manganese-purple outlines.
Rectangular with two suspension holes at top centre.
At the top a half-length figure of the Virgin and Child rises from clouds in front of a draped curtain; below, two Saints, the one on the left bearded, the other clean-shaven, kneel on paving slabs in front of a stylised townscape. Underneath there is a panel, inscribed in manganese-purple `.S.MARIA _RA.PRONOBIS' (Holy Mary pray for us). The scene is framed by two narrow blue lines and a wide yellow border decorated with brownish-orange leaves.
