Virgin Mother (Virgem), Queen of Heaven: Cascais, Portugal

The Blessed Virgin wears a silver crown and clasps her hands. She stands on a globe of the heavens, decorated with stars and flanked by winged cherubs. She tramples on the head of the Serpent, the source of evil which her Son will destroy.
