Here is a sharpened version of the image.
Rosanne said:The partial picture on a postcard I have, it appears that the central figure is holding a candle in a dish as if it is haloed.
Ross G Caldwell said:From the evidence gathered so far, I think the following points can be made.
1. The bishop is not wearing the papal tiara, therefore - if it is really a she and Barzon and Mueller are mistaken - she should not be considered a "Popess".
2. The two standing women are not holding separate objects, but instead are holding a ceremonial veil behind the bishop. This was only made clear in Barzon's image and description.
Fun investigation.
