DescriptionPlan for a relief carved for the Ruth Hanna Memorial Wing of the Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque, NM. In the center of the image, the bottom two thirds of a swaddled infant are visible, surrounded by a circle filled with cloud-like designs. On either side of the child is an angel kneeling, with head bowed and hands together as if in prayer. The lines of the design are perforated, as for transfer of the image onto another surface.
