A very beautiful carving, showing Dominic's vision in which he saw Our Lady opening her mantle to show him how the Dominicians are kept safely protected within its folds.
I think Fr. Benoit said that this carving dated from the 15th century. It is now hanging on the wall directly behind the altar. I would LOVE to find a copy of it... doubtful though. Good thing I have a nice photo of it!

Thanks for the wonderful photos, especially of Santa Sabina! We do have a postcard here of that carving,though the colors are not that vivid. I could scan it and make a copy for you!

You can buy posters of that carving in the S Sabina shop - or at least you could 5 years ago when I was a seminarisn in Rome
