About this 3D model

This woman may have been a wealthy widow who joined a religious order on her husband's death. She wears a loose habit, probably similar to her burial clothes, and the wrinkles around her eyes suggest her age. Full-length effigies of women holding books were popular in Naples, where the relief probably originated. Summary (V&A):This woman was probably buried in the dress of a tertiary (a religious woman who has not taken the full vows of a nun) as indicated by her effigy. Funeral monuments for women were popular in 16th century Naples; probably because of the presence of earlier tombs of the royal Angevin women.
