This image is a photograph of a religious painting, located in Fegge, Nigeria. The painting depicts a central female figure, identified as the Virgin Mary, surrounded by other figures in an ethereal setting. She wears a white undergarment, a red tunic, and a flowing dark blue or black cloak. A crown of twelve golden stars is visible above her head, with a white dove positioned near her left ear. Her hands are actively engaged with a long, white ribbon, meticulously untying knots. To her right, a winged male figure, dressed in an orange-brown draped garment, extends his arms upward, presenting a section of the knotted ribbon to her right hand. To her left, a bare-chested winged figure, possibly an angel, holds a smoother, untangled section of the ribbon that flows from her left hand. The upper sections of the painting feature multiple cherubic figures amidst cloud formations. Text in the upper right corner reads: "Eve, by her disobedience, tied the knot of disgrace for the human race; whereas Mary, by her obedience undid it." The background consists of warm, swirling hues of yellow, orange, red, and dark brown, suggestive of a cloudy, heavenly environment. The overall scene illustrates the Marian devotion of "Mary, Untier of Knots."
