Description
Detail image of the two doves. Below the alabaster window in each drum lunette of the Mausoleo di Galla Placidia (Galla Placidia Mausoleum; Mausoleum of Galla Placidia) in Ravenna, Italy, two doves represent spirits in search of eternal peace who are attempting to quench their thirst for salvation at a water basin.
