<p>[QUOTE="Iconodule, post: 10585998, member: 91417"]This is wonderful. While I'm obsessing about buttoned sleeves you discovered some real pictorial evidence. It may be that the buttoned sleeves refer to 19th century orders, not 13th century Benedictines. Both heart and staff with pennant are attributes of St. Gertrude the Great. Since this has a Mexican provenance, it indicates that Gertrude was venerated in a country with Spanish historical influence.</p><p><br /></p><p>And your Gertrude also has downcast eyes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
