The Ascension, wall-painting at Lagoudhera
Description
A printed reproduction of a wall-painting shows a bearded, haloed figure standing within concentric bands of rings, one arm raised and a long band of cloth held in the other hand. Winged figures with haloes fill the upper corners and smaller figures appear in the lower corners. Printed text and a quotation sit on a pale card mount below the image.
