| Description |  |
The marble relief comes from a set of at least sixteen, whose surviving elements represent Christ's twelve apostles and the virtues of Truth, Obedience, Poverty, and Charity.
Charity has a scroll bearing her name and a startling combination of the attributes associated with that virtue: a flaming heart, and infants who nurse on milk flowing from her bosom.
