The image transports us back in time to witness this remarkable piece up close. Every detail is meticulously crafted, revealing scenes from biblical narratives such as the annunciation, life and representations of the virgin, coronation, nativity, and various moments from Christ's life. These depictions are brought to life through delicate terracotta figures that exude a sense of grace and spirituality. The presence of male saints adds depth and significance to this religious masterpiece.

As we delve into its details further, it becomes evident that this work holds immense historical value within its portrayal of key events from both Old and New Testaments. Its inclusion within the Church of St. Maria degli Angeli near Assisi pays homage to St Francis himself – a figure deeply revered for his devotion – making it all more significant.
