EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Golden Hen and her Chicks" a remarkable piece of art given to the cathedral by Queen Theodolinda in the 6th century. Crafted from silver gilt, this medieval masterpiece is housed within the Treasury of Monza Cathedral in Italy. The intricately designed sculpture features a majestic hen surrounded by seven adorable chicks, symbolizing Lombardy and its seven provinces.
