  1. 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!

  2. This is a nice idea for an angel statue.
    I had almost forgotten the word sudarium. Thanks for the artistic reminder.
