It was interesting to learn about the Sudarium! Now I understand what the angel is holding and why it is considered sacred! Nice angel for the photograph...great shadows!
This is a nice idea for an angel statue.
I had almost forgotten the word sudarium. Thanks for the artistic reminder.
That's my Latin lesson for today.
As you know, I love angels and this one is a great example of the 'speces'
