Right Half of a Diptych with the Virgin and Child Flanked by Angels, late 15th century. This small-scale panel painting depicts the Virgin and Child flanked by the Archangels Michael and Gabriel who guard the mother and child with swords and shelter them with their wings. Below are the Ethiopian Saint Iyalot, her son Saint Qirqos (Saint Cyriacus) who holds the Virgin Mary’s wrist and converses with her, Saint Gebre Krestos, and Saint Ab Nob the Martyr. In an unusual detail, both Mary and Iyalot hold hand crosses, similar to those used by Ethiopian Orthodox clerics.
