X-radiograph(s) of "Dona Velata" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Dona Velata," by an anonymous artist, held at the Harvard Art Museums. It's quite ghostly. What symbols do you see here? Curator: The veil is primary; a sign of modesty, mystery, and transition. Consider how veiling has signified sacredness, mourning, or even a woman's marital status across cultures. What emotional resonance does it hold for you? Editor: I see a hidden story, something just out of reach. Thanks, this gives me a lot to consider! Curator: Indeed. The very act of X-raying reveals a hidden dimension, inviting us to contemplate what lies beneath surfaces, both literal and symbolic.
