Virgin of Rosell, Medieval Marian statue in Santa María de Gracia Church, Cartagena, Spain
The Virgin of Rosell statue depicts Mary seated on a throne, holding a rose in her right hand and the Christ Child on her lap.
The wooden statue, dating from the 1300s, was initially housed in Cartagena's old cathedral before being transferred to Santa María de Gracia Church.
The statue became the patron of the Military Order of Santa María de España, established by King Alfonso X of Castile in 1272.
Visitors can view the statue at Santa María de Gracia Church, with celebrations taking place on the second Sunday of November.
The statue's polychrome painting results from modifications made during the 16th and 18th centuries, altering its medieval features.
