    Description: 
    Six figures are arranged to represent the apparition of Fatima. The tallest piece is a full-length figure of Mary with both hands held below her face in prayer. She wears a detailed shawl and sandals while a rosary hangs from her hands and dangles down her front. To her proper left kneels a boy in 19th century clothing with his hands held before him. To Mary's proper right are two kneeling girls wearing peasant dresses and headdresses. The older girl holds her hands together in prayer while the younger girl's arms are crossed over her chest. Between the girls and the boy are two sheep, one standing and the other lying down. The figures are in a garden-like setting.
