Mary, Blessed Virgin, Saint -- Devotion to

Description

Engraved devotional tryptich on paper depicting the Virgin and Child; both figures enshrined at center, depicted as hovering over ill or injured person to left and right. The single sheet of paper was cut and folded to form a small envelope that opens up in the shape of a devotional triptych. When the object is folded like an envelope, the German poem on the exterior invites the reader to come to Altötting.
