This image shows the statue of Our Lady of Cocharcas, a town high in the Andes whose buildings and inhabits are also depicted. As the Virgin of the Purification, Mary holds a candlestick and bouquet of flowers and olives. Both mother and child wear gold crowns indicating that they are the Queen and Prince of Heaven. The baldachin, or canopy, that covers and protects them is another sign of high status. Two angels hold a banner above the scene that can be translated as "All beautiful is Mary free of original sin," making the image one of the Immaculate Conception as well as the Virgin of the Purification.
