Our Lady of Westminster, Medieval statue in Westminster Abbey, England
The alabaster sculpture depicts Virgin Mary seated on a throne with baby Jesus on her lap, holding a scepter in her right hand at Westminster Abbey entrance.
The statue was crafted in Nottingham region around 1450 using alabaster material from Chellaston quarries during a period of extensive religious art production.
The statue represents a period when English alabaster sculptures were exported throughout Europe, with France being the primary market for these religious artworks.
The statue stands above the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey, where visitors can view it during regular Abbey opening hours from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM.
The statue shows Jesus holding a globe while blessing with his other hand, looking up at Mary who wears a crown signifying her religious importance.
