Blessed Osanna's plaster funeral mask

A (negative) mould of the face of the Blessed obtained using gypsum after her death, June 18, 1505, and used to make a funerary mask (positive), made with layers of painted cloth on wood. The restoration of this mask was arduous but the results were excellent, and have brought back the lively colours. Today this pair, the mould (in the forefront) and the mask (in the background) allows to take a look at the intense and pensive image of Osanna.
