Praying Hands Holding a Rosary [reverse]

Sperandio

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a round relief sculpture featuring a pair of hands joined in a prayer position, with a rosary hanging between them. The sculpture is made of a dark brownish metallic material, likely bronze, with highlights where the surface is polished or worn. The hands are shown with sleeves falling back, against the backdrop of the medallion. Inscriptions in raised lettering adorn the edges. The central depiction of the praying hands suggests a focus on spirituality or piety.
