Painting of the coronation of the virgin Mary. The painting depicts a woman kneeling before three identical standing male figures who are all placing a crown on her head. The man on the left holds a sceptre and the man on the right holds a cross-bearing orb. Mary holds her hands together in front of her, above a red Ankh. All four figures have halos. Painted on canvas, in a carved wooden frame with a metal hook at the top back.
Cuzco school painting; c. 18 century.
Fred Braches collected the piece when he was stationed in Peru, while working in the merchant navy.
