The rare Marian iconographic typology is called ''Mother of God who softens sick hearts', where she carries the Holy Spirit on her breast, represented by a dove emitting rays of light. In particular, it is a variant of the Madonna Odighitria. Both the mother and the child are depicted as the queen and king of the universe: the Virgin wears a crown on her head and holds the Child, who is also blessing with the right hand.
