'''Vanderbilt Sacred Artwork"
These two images do not equate...here is where I think there is a disconnect - the Vanderbilt artwork shows a veil over the crossbeam of the cross behind Mary, Mother of Jesus. Her hands are folded in front of her. It is a veil BEHIND Her, not extended arms reaching up.
If I follow the first post above, this artwork is being identified as an image of Tanit which is shown in the 2nd image with arms extended up.
Mary is not holding her arms up...it is a veil (that Mary had given Jesus to cover Himself)
