<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 1751645, member: 8267&quot;]I don&#039;t think the Christian iconography is so strict about something such as the tilt of her head (not like all of the subtleties in Buddhist imagery), but there may be significance in which side the child is on, and what Mary is holding. In [USER=41]@moontymes[/USER] image, she appears to be holding a wreath of roses. But try googling Madonna/Mary and roses and you get way too much stuff to wade through. You would think there would be a catalog of Mary iconography, but I haven&#039;t found one so far. My impression from the style, though, is that it&#039;s origin is somewhere Spanish/Spanish colonial.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
