THE ANGEL BRINGS THE SOUL OF SAINT AMBROSE TO HEAVEN – SILVER BAS-RELIEF OF THE VUOLVINIO ALTAR – CIRCA 835 – BASILICA OF SAINT AMBROSE, MILAN
The funeral processions hold a great significance for important personages: the body of Saint Ambrose is displayed on a catafalque: a sumptuous pall interwoven in an orbicular pattern covers the person leaving the face visible.
Weeping and laments of the mourners accompany the funeral rites.
