Favorite things : this photo of Countess Uta

Oh my God! Just saw this picture on another blog today and had an epiphany!
I simply LOVE this statue of Countess Uta (1245-1250 AD) statue in Naumburg Cathedral, Germany.

My grandfather gave me a collection of art history books when I was very little and this was definitively a favorite.  Look at her! So pretty, so vulnerable, and look at her crown! Just a beauty.Good memories come from just seeing this!  Look at the detail below:
