The floral element also recurs as the decoration of the long tunic, with small recurring flowers. Datable to the Neoclassical period at the end of the 18th century.
Good general state of preservation. Measures 34x24 cm excluding coeval lacquer and mecca frame.
The relics of this Roman virgin are in Mugnano del Cardinale
