Have not consciously seen a sculpted Annunciation before. I like this very much. An bhfuil Gaeilge agat? (I'm using a phrase book for this)

Amanda, T. Riemenschneider was a very special sculptor. I'm hoping to put together another post on his work before too long. As for the Gaeilge - very good! Alas, I can understand some and can read some, but much much less than I would like. I'd thought I'd give it a try in light of your very Irish first name.
